There have been a lot of hot rock films–Performance, Wild in the Streets, Tommy–but none of them has quite matched the staying power of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the campy drag musical that has haunted midnight screenings for 13 years. Made on a shoestring and featuring Susan Sarandon in her presuperstar days, Rocky Horror and its mostly improvised audience participation still amaze. The 400 Theatre, 6746 N. Sheridan, will show a new print of the cult classic tonight, Saturday, and Monday, along with a special live half-hour preshow at midnight. The film starts at 12:30; doors open at 11:30. Admission is $5. Call 764-9100 or 764-3815 for more.

Many American Indian stories, which were passed down orally, have never been written down. Alice Rubio, who is a professional storyteller, will share one of them–a story about autumn–today at 3:30 on WFMT’s “The Storytellers” series. A traditional Celtic story will also be told. They’re free on your radio at 98.7 FM. For details, call 565-5000.
