A traveler's guide to Transsexual, Transylvania

Halloween is full of great traditions – trick-or-treating, costume parties, hayrides, haunted houses, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Seriously captivating and slightly cultish, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is by far the most famous midnight movie of all, attracting fans of the abnormal since its debut in 1975. On Sat., Oct. 30, fans will have their chance to see it at The Flying Monkey in Plymouth.

The show recounts the ‘wonderfully weird' encounters of Brad and Janet, a couple who find themselves stranded on the side of the road with a flat on a rainy November night. In their efforts to make it home safely, they are dragged into the bizarre affairs of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, as well as Magenta, Columbia, Riff Raff, and Rocky. Brad and Janet's night rapidly cascades into an eccentric fiasco of queer science fiction as they are forced to mingle with a cast of vivacious trannies who share an affinity for carnage.

If you plan on accompanying Brad and Janet on their wild excursion, be sure to come prepared. Here are a few pieces of advice to ensure a safe trip to Transsexual, Transylvania:

-Throw the toast

Throw on stage during the dinner scene.

-Throw the bounty bars

Thrown during the line with "Paradise" in it.

-Hide under the newspaper

Do this when Janet covers her head with one in the rain.

-Snap the rubber gloves

Snap in unison during Dr. Frank-N-Furt's moment of creation.

-Throw the Kit-Kats

Throw following the line "You get a break."

-Throw the rice

Throw during the wedding scene.

-Shoot the gun

The water gun, that is – shot to simulate the storm that starts it all.

-Tip the hat, pop the poppers, blow the blowers

Use party poppers, hats, and blowers to celebrate Dr. Frank-N-Furt's creation.

-Flash the lights

To light up the dark room during the song, "Over at the Frankenstein Place."

-T.P. the auditorium

Throw toilet paper to welcome Doctor Scott following Brad's exclamation, "Holy Scott!"

Make no mistake: A trip to Transsexual, Transylvania is nothing short of dangerous, so the importance of careful preparation cannot be stressed enough. So remember, throw the toast, snap the gloves, shoot the gun, and enjoy the show.
