What started as a midnight movie phenomenon has now become the longest-running theatrical release in history.
One of the film's most distinctive features is its audience participation. Theaters across the U.S. encouraged viewers to dress up and join in the musical numbers, creating a unique and immersive experience. This interactive aspect has kept the film alive and relevant for decades.
