This Gender-Nonconforming Halloween Commercial Is the Cutest Thing We've Ever Seen

Last September marked five decades since The Rocky Horror Picture Show, adapted from Richard O’Brien’s still-groundbreaking 1973 musical, released in U.S. theaters. But this month, fans can celebrate a perhaps even more momentous occasion in the beloved film’s lore with the 50th anniversary of its first midnight screening in New York.

Coinciding with the nostalgic moment in cinematic history is the release of a new documentary, Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror, about the making and legacy of Richard O’Brien’s musical pastiche for stage and screen. From director Linus O’Brien, Richard's son, the feel-good title featuring famous faces, archival footage, and scenes from audiences miming the film in modern-day movie houses is a love letter to the fans who have kept Rocky Horror alive. But it’s also a son’s tribute to his father’s one-of-a-kind mind.
