When 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' first hit American theaters in 1975, it didn't perform very well at the box office, save for one Los Angeles theater. The subversive camp-horror musical film -- based on Richard O'Brien's original stage show -- became a cult classic when a theater in New York City began running midnight showings of it the following year. Since then, the film has become a Saturday night tradition around the country, where audience members interact with the film while actors perform a live "shadow" version in front of the screen.

It's been 38 years since 'The Rocky Horror Picture' show first hit theaters, so join us for a look back at the cast of the film and see what they're up to now.
