Were you there Friday night for the HORROR? 🔪🩸👻

We’re still recovering from our completely UNHINGED Horror Show edition of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, featuring some of your favorite horror movie icons invading the Frankenstein Place. 🖤

If you were there, tell us in the comments! 👇

And a HUGE thank you to Co**se Bells for kicking off the night with our pre-show entertainment! We’re pretty sure we’ll never get another chance to see someone sing as Pinhead from Hellraiser, and frankly, that was a TREAT. 😂🖤

Missed it? You still have TWO more chances to do the Time Warp with us this spooky season!

🎃 October 23
🎃 October 24

These will be our final Rocky shows before we take a break in November. Since we’re giving you THREE shows in October, even Transylvanians need a little recovery time. 😉

🎟️ Get your tickets now through the Terrace Theater website!

And a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out Friday night, dressed up, yelled callbacks, threw props and joined us for one wonderfully weird, wild and completely unhinged night. We love you, unconventional conventionalists. 💋

See you back at the Frankenstein Place October 23 & 24! 🖤👄

🩸 CHARACTER REVEAL: THE TRANSYLVANIANS AS THE UNIVERSAL MONSTERS 🩸

Our Transylvanians have gotten a little more… monstrous tonight. 🧛‍♂️🐺⚡

For HORROR: THE SEQUEL, our favorite convention-goers are transforming into the legendary Universal Monsters!

Dracula. Frankenstein’s Monster. The Bride. The Wolf Man. The Creature. The Phantom. And more classic creatures crawling out of the shadows for one very special night.

And the Transylvanians want EVERYBODY to join them tonight and enjoy the…

✨ “LOVELY PARTY!” ✨

You heard them. Get dressed. Get weird. Come party with us.

🪰 CHARACTER REVEAL: DR. SCOTT AS THE FLY 🪰

What happens when science goes just a little too far?

Tonight, Dr. Everett Scott is trading his investigation into aliens for an experiment of a much more… insectoid nature.

For HORROR: THE SEQUEL, Dr. Scott transforms into THE FLY. 🧪🪰

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

⛓️ HORROR: THE SEQUEL — CHARACTER REVEAL #10 🩸

We have such sights to show you…

And apparently Dr. Frank-N-Furter heard that and thought, finally, someone who gets me. 😈

💋 FRANK-N-FURTER → PINHEAD
from HELLRAISER ⛓️

Pleasure. Pain. Extravagant outfits. Extremely questionable activities behind closed doors.

Honestly, these two probably have a LOT to talk about. 😂

And you don’t have much longer to wait because…

🚨 HORROR: THE SEQUEL IS TOMORROW! 🚨

🎃 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2
📍 Terrace Theater
💋 Hosted by Charleston’s Absent Friends & Terrace Theater

Your favorite Rocky Horror characters are transforming into horror icons for one deliciously twisted night.

🖤 CAN’T MAKE IT TOMORROW?

Don’t worry, creatures of the night. We’re coming back to the Terrace for TWO classic Rocky Horror Picture Show performances to celebrate the real Halloween season:

💋 October 23 — Classic RHPS
💋 October 24 — Classic RHPS

So whether you want your Rocky Horror with a side of Pinhead tomorrow or prefer your Frank-N-Furter gloriously traditional later this month, there are THREE chances to do the Time Warp with us this October.

Tomorrow, we have such sights to show you. ⛓️💋
