Come up to the lab and see what's on the slab! "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," the longest-running theatrical release in film history, celebrates its 49th anniversary with a national tour live at the Louisville Palace Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 12.

When the campy horror musical film premiered in 1975 it was a flop, but years after it first hit movie theaters, costume-clad fans still attend midnight showings in costume where they yell the callbacks like "A chicken stepped on this man's forehead," and "Not meatloaf for dinner again!"

During "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" National Tour, fans have the chance to experience this special interactive cult classic, and for the price of a VIP ticket, meet actor Barry Bostwick, who thrilled generations as "Brad Majors" in the film.

Actor Barry Bostwick arrives at the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries 2015 TCA Summer Press Tour, held July 29 in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“It’s fun, noisy and rude and only exists today because of the dedicated fan base and incredible 'shadow casts' from around the world," Bostwick said in a release. “Three generations of partygoers have passed it down from one to another. It is a rite of passage from innocence to understanding and questioning.”

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" stars Tim Curry as the devious and fabulous Frank-N-Furter, Meatloaf, Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as everybody's favorite nerdy couple — Brad and Janet — and the film's creator, Richard O'Brien, as Riff Raff.

And now it's time to do the time warp again. The Oct. 12 event features a screening of the original unedited movie with a live shadow cast and audience participation. Plus a memorabilia display with artifacts and an actual costume from the movie, a costume contest, and more.

Here's a novel idea: Daytime viewings of the midnight-show camp classic. You can do "The Time Warp" along with Susan Sarandon, Tim Curry and Barry Bostwick as the 1975 movie will be screened continuously throughout Halloween. During commercial breaks, expect instruction to help you re-create the audience-participation elements that turned the movie into a phenomenon. 7 a.m. Friday, Oct. 31-3 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, on Logo.

Tickets start at $35 and go on sale Friday, June 14 at 11 a.m. at the Louisville Palace Box Office, 625, S. Fourth St. and online at livenation.com.

Limited VIP tickets, which include the meet-and-greet with Bostwick, are available. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit livenation.com.
