ABOUT

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

Audience Participation Screening


PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately Rocky Horror is sold out, but may we suggest checking out the next evening on Saturday 2 November for another Horrorfest highlight - the silent film live soundtrack performance to a classic silent film by The Makabra Ensemble. This year is the soundtrack premiere of the 1911 Italian classic, DANTE'S INFERNO. Tickets at: https://qkt.io/GCYYBW (It will also be the official Halloween dress-up night of the event with prizes & give-aways).

This staple of the Horrorfest has seen the re-scoring of 14 movies over the festival's 20 year history and this will be the first performance of DANTE'S INFERNO, the first ever full length Italian feature film.






Just one year from its half a century anniversary! Since 1975, the cult classic musical film the Rocky Horror Picture Show has thrilled audiences around the globe. Still as irresistibly fun and fresh as always, the phenomenon is still going strong. Join us at the 20th HORRORFEST to put some fun back into Halloween weekend, with an audience participation screening (the best, if not only way to experience the movie!), on Friday night 1 November


TRAILER:





The rousing party atmosphere of this gem will light up the Labia Theatre, the audience encouraged to arrive dressed as any of the Rocky Horror characters, or anything wild, exotic, crazy, Halloween-related.



For those not bringing their own, or those unaware of all the extras that accompany the audience participation (from slices of toast, rice, newspapers, rubber gloves, playing cards etc.) The LoveCraft Experiment will have a stall outside the cinema where you can purchase participation packs. Horrorfest merch including T-shirts, DVDs and books will also be available.





HORRORFEST 2024 LINE-UP at The LABIA Theatre:


This year in stead of short film anthologies, each feature film will open with some of the best global shorts you’re likely to see this year.
