If you want to get a head start on the Rocky Horror experience. Take these cues and practice it at home throwing things at your Dad's new Plasma screen. He'll thank you for it.

At the "dinner scene" Frank holds up a cup of wine and calls for "A Toast!" Fling

For Optimum Flinging: Shout "TO CANABALISM!"

During the song "I'm Going Home" Frank sings a line about "Cards for Sorrow", and "Cards for Pain" Fling

For Optimum Flinging: There are two lines, Sorrow and Pain. Save half for each. If you miss Sorrow, you've still got Pain.

As Dr. Scott comes rolling thru the house for the first time. Prepare your rolls. As he crashes thru the wall and Brad yells "Great Scott!" Fling

For Optimum Flinging: Prepare once you see the dude in the wheel chair, once he hits the wall, its Halloween night.

Not really Flinging per say, what you do is during the song, "Over At The Frankenstein Place", during the lyrics "there's a light" hold them up for others to feel as if there is in fact, a light. Glowsticks also make for great lightswitch raves.

For Optimum Flinging: Please do not throw these. There, legal disclaimer done.

During the beginning of the song "Over At The Frankenstein Place" its raining, this is the time to squirt audience members.

For Optimum Flinging: The ones protecting themselves with newspapers really don't realize that a soggy newpaper scrap offers little protection from the rainfall.

During the beginning of the song "Over At The Frankenstein Place" its raining, this is the time to cover your head as people will be squirting water at you, the audience member.

For Optimum Flinging: The soggy little newspaper scrap offers a great deal of protection from the rainfall.

The creation scene has the Transylvanians gathering around celebrating with what looks like leftovers from New Years Eve. Not very interesting but when they party, you party!

For Optimum Flinging: There's always someone on the car ride home who thinks its funny to keep playing with the damn thing. Next time just don't invite them.

During the creation scene, twice Frank snaps his rubber gloves. For a creepy effect, try and snap your rubber gloves at the same time. When enough people do this, you really feel like you're a part of something mildly interesting.

For Optimum Flinging: Stretch the middle finger part over your thumb and with the other hand stretch back the rest of the glove. Fling

This one's tricky. During the song which directly follows the dinner scene there's a lyric "do you hear a bell ring?"

For Optimum Flinging: Keys dangling work well in a pinch because nobody remembers bells

In the scene which Colombia tells her feelings to Frank, she says, "you're like a sponge, you take, take and drain others of their love and emotion" Fling

For Optimum Flinging: Take, Take are good cues to throw sponges

During the "I Can Make You a Man Reprise" Rocky and Frank go to their honeymoon suite to uh,...dance. People throw confetti here. Fling Also, during the wedding in the beginning, you may throw paper confetti here too. Fling And at the end when the imaginary crowd gives Frank a standing ovation, this is good too. Fling

For Optimum Flinging: Its not as appropriate to fling confetti whenever somebody dies onscreen. But you're an adult, you can make these decisions on your own.

If there's one thing that makes an interactive show more interactive, its you. So try some new things. Instead of toast, throw a bagel. Have some great line in the movie where you go "would you like fries with that?!" and you throw a load of french fries for some reason? Okay, the important thing to remember is that not everything is going to work. Ask a cast member if something is appropriate or not. If nobody hears you or understands the joke, the joke will die. If it's clever and catchy, we may have a new phenominon. After all, somebody came up with toilet paper.

Sh!t Bags are bags of sh!t to fling at a show. Most bags include a varying assortment of toast, toilet paper, cards, sponges, gloves, newspapers and other goodies. While audience members are encouraged to bring their own items, sh!t bags are given out with a donation of a dollar or more, procedes going towards the cast, and are very convenient. So please, donate.
