The ROCKY HORROR PENDRAGON SHOW

[robkral]

I started a thread on another site just like this one, but I've noticed there's quite a lot of different members at this site, and I'd love to see what ideas are shared with this group too.

This is a thread that I think will apply to both fans (yes I've seen here there are FANS), and non-fans alike.

It is a way of embracing the movie, enjoying it, and certainly making the very most of it!........

Here's the idea: please post your ideas for what you would bring (and would like the entire audience to bring) to a ROCKY HORROR PENDRAGON SHOW of WAR OF THE WORLDS.

(For those that don't know, the Rocky Horror Picture Show had midnight screenings for years on end and avid fans would bring items to throw at the screen, toss about the room etc: items from the movie, or to mimic the movie).

Here's a start:

A glass of wine, a fork, a piece of chocolate (or whatever the heck that was!), a big mustache and a VERY big smile (for the famous silent dinner scene).

A LOAF OF BREAD to munch on WILDLY, for the "I'M SO HUNGRY I'M SO HUNGRY" scene with the curate.

A megaphone to cry out in synchornosation with Oglivy saying "ENOOOOOOOORMOUS VELOCITY!"

A Skeleton costume to get up and do the skeleton dance in sync with the now famous scene. (Another post from someone elsewhere mentioned "LETS DO THE HEAT RAY AGAIN!!!"...who was that? That's awesome!".

AND OF COURSE, this could be combined with a drinking game: one drink for everytime the same kids go running across the screen, for example (we'll all be MIGHTY drunk by the end of the evening, or half way through the picture even!)

So, put on you thinking caps, watch the movie again (YE GODS!!) and lets hear it......

A full size fighting machine would be fun to throw about the cinema during the film

The screening room (party room!) should be under ORANGE LIGHTS, so EVERYTHING is orange, just like the movie.

Everyone should have orange cellophane on hand so everyone can crumple it and make fire sounds everytime you see CGI fire.

Fake mustaches, and you have to rip it off your face and then re-apply everytime the movie switches between the writer and his brother.

Blown up balloons that we release the air from (and make those disgusting farting type sounds when the air escapes from said balloons). This would be used for extra sound fx from the audience when the blood is drained from the barbie doll.

;D LOL! A marvellous idea!

I'd bring:
#Water Pistols for the CGI storm
# a moustache to be worn when Ant is Writer, and torn off when he''s the Bro'.
# A hanky to hide behind when Ogilvy approaches the cyliner (also to be waved when Henderson has the white flag)
# One of those things that make a noise like a cow for the "cow" draining scene
# Cardboard battleship cutouts to hold over the CGI Thunderchild

I'd have a singalong as well:
# Over opening titles: "Science Fiction/Budget Feature/Hines has filmed an evil creature"
# Ogilvy to Writer: "There's a light...spurting from the surface of Mars"
# On seeing martians "It'a wild an an untamed thing, a squid with a deadly sting"
# As the martians shoot: "Let's fire the heat-ray again"
# As they rush into the water, a chorus of "don't dream it, be it"
# When writer tears off shirt: "I'm just a sweet Journ-a-list, from Victorian En-ger-land"
# As the singer is "stripped" a chorus of "Touch-a touch-a Touch me"
# As the Writer leaves Dead London: "I'm going home"
# Every shot of the Tripods legs "I'm Jake the Peg..."

I'm going to have to watch the film to come up with some interactive audience participation dialogue!

Dammit, I've now got an image in my head of the Writer, Wife, Elphinstones & Artilleryman in leather pants & basques, and Ogilvy in a Wheelchair...

LOL! Well I admire your ability to milk entertainment from this turkey of a movie. The cardboard-cutout battleship to hold up to the screen to cover the horrid GGI Thunder Child is particularly inspired!

I'm generally not "into" scat humor, but I thought the comment that the Martians look like turds with spaghetti attached was on the mark. So might I suggest-- fake doggie poop (it's sold in novelty shops) to throw at the screen when the "break-dancing" Martian first appears. Or to be more elaborate, fake poop in a baggie along with some spaghetti.

[Poyks]

Will I have to wear the wifes suspender belt and stockings..............again?!

[David Faltskog]

Bagsy me first!.

[Poyks]

D.F. You can borrow them when I've removed the cornflakes and bits of tarmac. ;D

[RustiSwordz]

the airrifles and life sized targets of time hinds....

[FALLINGSTAR]

I'll bring some sticky back plastic, a couple of bits of cardboard and some glue to re-enact the Thunderchild sequence. Oh and a bucket of water for the sea.

I've just ordered the two WOTW films. The asylum one and the Pendisaster one.
