Rocky Goes Hollywood

Filed under: Film Flickers

The execs at Universal Studios have just partnered with 20th Century Fox's licensing and merchandising department to create a special Rocky Horror Picture Show: A Tribute event at their theme parks.

The mini-musical will actually be part of Universal Studios' annual Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood this year, beginning October 2nd and running for 16 nights.

According to Fox's licensing VP of worldwide promotion, the cult classic Rocky is "more than a film; it's become a cultural touchstone in American entertainment, and this new attraction is yet another testament to its strength."

It's also pervy and demented and we love it!

Not exactly "family" entertainment, though.

As for the park, it's been re-designed this year and will feature four new mazes, a new "Terror Tram" backlot studio experience, and a new "Scare Zones."

      Ummm this isn't news people….
      I have been going to HHN since I was a kid. Being a Orlando native.
      This RHPS tribute has been done over and over at HHN for the past few years….
      and they do the movie show every weekend at there theatre…
      has everyone on this site avoided HHN for the last five years?
      end note

      So they already did this at the Orlando Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights last year and it was absolutely fantastic. The particularly sexy guy who shook his crouch right in front of my face was the highlight of the show for me :]



    16. 16

      They have done that for years and years and years already. its not new.

      Re: wha – What this person said.

      Rocky Horror has been done at Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando for a while. I went and saw it last year. So.. this is kinda stupid to even consider "news". Kinda lame that this is a site for "celebrity gossip" and you post about a theme park..

      It is too perfect and everyone is trying to make it commercial.
