The legendary actor Tim Curry, star of Jim Sharman’s iconic *Rocky Horror Picture Show* (1975), passed away a few weeks ago, but fortunately, he remains immortal as Dr. Frank-N-Furter—every day of the year, and at a Montreal Halloween ball.
From October 29 to October 31, 2026, there will be six performances of the city’s only ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at two iconic theaters in Montreal.
It’s called the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW HALLOWEEN BALL. There will be a screening of the film, massive audience participation (including dancing the “Time Warp”), a master of ceremonies to guide the evening, and alivecastonstage.
There will also be a costume contest—and it’s all about who can best pull off Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s corset and sapphire-colored eyeshadow.
