Was the Rocky Horror Picture show movie controversial when it came to theaters back in the 70s?

Now this is going to date me ...



YES, it was somewhat controversial (around the more religious/conservative communities) -- and as far as around College Campuses -- it was something that was an Audience Participation Hit (Late Night Weekend Shows) ... and I can remember having a friend convince me to attend one of these screenings after a long week of mid-term exams (I was a Grad Student at the time).



It was a HOOT! Not only did the 'enthusiasts' come dressed up -- but they came with props too -- and believe me .. It was such a study of people (and the laughs -- I was in the back row -- it was SO SO Funny) ... that it was definitely worth the price to see what was happening.



You have to remember the times -- lots of social 'changes' were already in progress (after all, we'd already had the Hippies -- the "Alternative Lifestyles" had/were being more prominently discussed ... and this was just a continuation of the discussions on-going. (Just a bit more 'visual').

No, as it was so under the radar, no one saw it
I dont remember it as controversial,but it was ahead of its time,and became a cult classic,almost instantly.
