- The Rocky Horror Picture Show 50th Anniversary Midnight Screening Party!Red Lion Pub, Houston, TX
🎉✨ Let’s Do the Time Warp… Again! ✨🎉
This year marks the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show! What better way to celebrate than with a midnight screening? Our social club is suiting up in fishnets, glitter, and unapologetic weirdness to keep this cult classic alive the way it was meant to be experienced: with a rowdy crowd, shouted lines, flying toast, and all the Time Warps your hips can handle.
Whether you’re a Rocky Horror virgin (don’t worry, you’ll find out what that means) or a seasoned fan who already knows every callback, this is your chance to experience the magic of camp, chaos, and community on the big screen. Grab your boas, smear on some lipstick, and come ready to yell, sing, and laugh until 2 a.m.
Join us, and let’s make some memories as unforgettable as Dr. Frank-N-Furter himself! 🥂👠 Full event blog post available here (Includes parking, how to find us, a pregame playlist, and more!)

Lace up your black Converse and smudge on that eyeliner bc our social club is closing out September with an emo-themed fun run! All levels welcome! We’ll jog, walk, or dramatically shuffle down the trail to the soundtrack of Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and Green Day (because, obviously). After the run, stick around for a social hour where we’ll reminisce about the golden age of angst over drinks at Poison Girl. Whether you’re running for fitness, friendship, or just to scream-sing "Bring Me To Life" in good company, this is the perfect way to end September with new connections and nostalgic feels!
