Theater in my town shows it every Sat. Night. I have to say....I don't get it. Are you supposed to be smoking the pot when you go to see this?

I've never watched it. Is it worth watching just for the sake of curiosity?

The movie, itself, is pretty dumb. What makes the movie great are the people yelling at the screen. They the real MVP.

If you've never seen it yet, watching it alone it will be the single worst thing you've ever seen.

In Boston in the 80s it played on weekends very late at a theater downtown and we would hike in from the South Shore to see it. They had a crew who would stand up on a small stage, in costume, and act out the show while the movie was playing. This helped for some to get the audience participation bits. They also did a bit before the show, where they would ask 'virgins' to come up to the stage and they would tease and make fun of you in a friendly RHPS way. I was told that I looked like Cousin Oliver from the brady bunch. Thanks!
It was always a fun trip for my friends and me to go into the city late on a Saturday nite when we were in HS.

The place in Greater Boston for many years to see Rocky Horror was the old Brattle Theater in Harvard Square.

Could one get laid or hook up with a chick easily at this thing?

My wife declared this as the best movie ever. Watching it now for the first time. She did say it's much better if you go to the theater with other people.

I have zero interest in the theatrics, yet I love the movie. Super entertaining and dripping with Dionysian ethics.

Saw it in college when it was showing every Friday at midnight. Bought it on DVD and showed it to my kids. They think I'm nuts. Now I'm afraid to show them Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Major understatement here. But, you want to see it with Audience participation, not audience recreation. The best times watching it while in high school with everyone participating (rice, toast, dancing, and so much more). After high school I would catch it occasionally and the trend was towards a group of people at the front of the theater recreating the scenes. The audience seemed more interested in watching that rather than actually participating. Not as much fun.

The music holds up, even without the audience. Great glam-era rock and roll.
Ghost Rider

Absolutely.
The idea that you need drugs or a live audience at the theater to enjoy this is pure nonsense. Both can enhance it, sure, but you don't need it to enjoy it.
It's great silly fun, and the music really is quite enjoyable.

Not sure what is says about me, but I can never watch Tim Curry, in any movie, without hearing "Sweet Transvestite" in my head.

I get what you are saying. But I saw Joe Namath offer to kiss that butch reporteress... Forgot her name... But that was pretty ####### ugly. Watching RHPS alone is worse than watching Broadway Joe trying to kiss a lesbian?

Yeah... many times I choose not to check out how a favorite from my youth looks now... I'd rather stick with the memories.
That said, Susan Sarandon still looked pretty good in that clip.
