Among frights this Halloweekend it was debatable which proved scariest: Sarah Palin (Windsor G. Hanger ’10) fraternizing with constituents at the Owl Saturday night, or Dr. Frank-N-Furter (James P. Fitzpatrick ’12) roaming the Yard on Friday...
...order: Brad (Barry A. Shafrin ’09) and Janet (Jennifer H. Rugani ’07), a fresh-faced, virginal couple straight from 1950s social-hygiene videos, stumble onto a castle filled with cross-dressing, scantily clad, lecherous residents.

The film bombed so ignominiously in its 1975 American premiere that the distributor, 20th Century-Fox, was ready to give it up for dead. Ten years after, this polysexual rock-'n'-roll travesty has earned over $60 million at midnight box offices. But R.H.P.S. is more than a sleeper hit for insomniacs.
