As the semester enters full swing, the Review Crew hopes you will keep in touch with news, sports, opinions and more here at the McKendree Review.

The cult classic has been moving strong since 1975 and it’s no surprise why! The classic has great music, an off-the-wall plot, and very dynamic characters! As of 2015, they are going to celebrate their 40th anniversary! The plot-line of the movie is perhaps one of the strangest yet most interesting plot-lines I have come across. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is more than just a movie. In fact, you can participate in showings where you see the movie in a theater at midnight. I could go on more about what happens there, but why spoil the fun? See for yourself! If you live on campus or near campus, there are several theaters you could attend! ...
