Linus O'Brien his dad journey to create The Rocky Horror Show
This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. It was the little musical that ended up with cult following. When the Rocky Horror Show opened in London in 1973, it bucked the trend of big-budget and technical productions like Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair . It was the brainchild of Richard O'Brien, the UK-born New Zealand-raised creative who wrote the stage show and played the character of Riff Raff. The show became a hit, and Richard wrote the screenplay when it was turned into the Rocky Horror Picture Show . Rocky 's transition from musical to movie, to 4am screenings with audience dress up and participation, has been captured by Richard's son Linus. It features interviews with key members of the production team and original cast, including Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick. It's called Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror and is screening as part of the DocEdge film festival . Linus and Richard join Kathryn to talk about the show's enduring legacy.

17 Horror Movies People Watched Too Early As Kids
While it can be fun to watch a horror movie every now and then, sometimes, a really scary film will stick with you forever. So when a Reddit user asked: "What is a movie that traumatized you so badly as a kid that you are still afraid of it as an adult?" I thought I would share their answers below: "I never watched the full video in The Ring. When I watch the film, at that one part, I'll still close my eyes when the video is running. My phone won't ring mfers." Watch the trailer here: "Event Horizon. The scene where Sam Neil's character has his eyes gouged out just messed me up." Watch the trailer here: "It with Tim Curry." Watch the trailer here: "The Exorcist." Watch the trailer here: "For me, this would be all The Grudge movies: Ju-on, and the American remakes as well. When I was about 11, we were having a sleepover at my friend's house and decided that it would be a good idea to watch his older brother's Grudge movies, because 'We are big boys, we can handle it.' It's safe to say I didn't sleep much that night and was scared shitless by literally anything for many months to come. That crackling sound still haunts me to this day. Not the smartest decision that I've ever made..." Watch the trailer here: "The Descent. Fuck caves, and I can't stand scenes with thumbs through eyeballs." Watch the trailer here: "The Shining. Those twins and the tub lady." Watch the trailer here: "The Blair Witch Project. Marketing was so good for that film, I legit thought it was real. So here's 14/15-year-old me thinking I just watched a legit snuff film (opening weekend at that) and it jacked me up for a while. To this day, I get bad vibes from the movie." Watch the trailer here: "In Jaws, that scene when they look under the boat and they find... You know what I mean." Watch the trailer here: "The Dark Crystal." Watch the trailer here: "The first A Nightmare on Elm Street. I still can't watch it to this day." Watch the trailer here: "King Kong (2005). Watching those guys get destroyed by giant spiders, centipedes, and whatever the hell else that was attacking and eating them in that crevice." Watch the trailer here: "The Thing with Kurt Russell. Saw that when I was about 10, and it's always been my top horror movie." Watch the trailer here: "The Exorcism of Emily Rose? I think that's what it was called. I woke up every night at 3 a.m. and freaked the fuck out." Watch the trailer here: "Candyman." Watch the trailer here: "Thirteen Ghosts. The damn jackal just frightened the hell out of me as a kid." Watch the trailer here: "Poltergeist. I was way too young to watch that movie." Watch the trailer here: Is there a scary movie that you watched as a kid that still haunts you?

Beloved 'Rocky Horror' Star, 79, Seen During Extremely Rare Appearance
Rocky Horror actor Tim Curry was recently seen during a rare outing in Los Angeles. In the photos obtained by Daily Mail, the beloved 79-year-old British actor was spotted being pushed in a wheelchair as he left Gelson's supermarket after picking up some groceries. . The actor has largely kept out of the spotlight following a life-changing stroke in his home in 2012 that affected his speech and left him partially paralyzed on one side, requiring the use of a wheelchair. His illustrious career, dating back to the 1970s, has been marked by memorable performances such as the aforementioned The Rocky Picture Show, which shot him to fame, along with Clue, Home Alone 2, the film adaptation of Annie, Pennywise in the miniseries It, Muppet Treasure Island, Charlie's Angels, Scary Movie 2 and more. In 2015, nearly three years after his health scare, the legendary stage and screen actor was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 19th annual Actors Fund Tony Awards Viewing Party in Los Angeles. At the time, he told Los Angeles Magazine that the honor "sort of solidifies the kind of work the American acting community has given me for years now. It's very gracious of them, I think.' He has made several other limited appearance over the years, including in 2021 as he posed for photos with fans during Emerald City Comic Con and in 2019 at GalaxyCon Raleigh. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

EMS Week kicks off with rescue squad open house in Fairmont
FAIRMONT, (WBOY) — The Marion County Rescue Squad (MCRS) kicked off EMS Week in Fairmont with an open house to give residents an inside look at the tools and skills that first responders use every day to keep their communities safe. Although hosted by MCRS, many other emergency crews and first responders were present at the open house, including West Virginia State Police, Farmington Volunteer Fire Department, local law enforcement and HealthNet, which performed a takeoff and landing during the event. You can watch HealthNet lift off using the video player above. Buckhannon's 83rd Strawberry Festival honors first responders Attendees also got to learn how best to help during emergency situations thanks to 'Stop the Bleed' and CPR demonstrations that MCRS members put on throughout the afternoon. MCRS Assistant Training Officer Tim Curry said that it's first-hand knowledge and behind-the-scenes looks like these that are what EMS week is all about. 'That was the origins of EMS week, when it first came around, when it was introduced by President Jimmy Carter—it was to increase that public trust,' Curry said. 'That's what we're trying to get back to this year by giving back, opening our doors, letting people come in and see that we're just people like they are. And when we come on that bad day, we're really there to help them.' But Curry explained that EMS week isn't just for the general public; it also serves as a thank you to EMS workers who are active 24/7, 365 days a year to save the lives of others. After Sunday's open house, other events throughout the week will include a bowling night for families to spend more time with their local EMS workers and massages for different EMS crews for some much-needed rest and relaxation.
