The Yarra Ranges Film Society (YRFS) members and guests enjoyed dressing up for the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which was screened on Tuesday 21 October 21 at the Memo.
The movie was shown as part of the annual program of movies shown by the YRFS.
Healesville local band, The Wannabees, played hits from the movie and joined in the Rocky Horror fancy dress.
They provided the before screen entertainment, with the Time Warp being a favourite for dancing.
The band enjoyed putting the spooky song list together.
Their costumes were stunning and they put the crowd in the mood for the movie.
They regularly play at local community events. Call Ron on 0425 261 850 if you want to hire them for your community event
People from the crowd said the night was a great time.
“We felt like teenagers again, we had such a hoot,” one crowd member said.
Another said: “Dressing up transforms how you feel and look. It makes you feel and look younger and you have more fun.“
It was a wonderful way to celebrate two big birthdays – the Yarra Ranges Film Society celebrated its 40th birthday this year, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show celebrated its 50 anniversary.
The YRFS is looking for new members to help decide its movie program and celebrate the love of independent, art house and world movies from the the vault.
The YRFS have 11 screenings a year (once a month) and have a full weekend film festival in Warburton in June, and a Healesville mini film festival in March.
