The cast hadn’t been in the same place in over two decades, reports Today, but it’s not every year that Rocky Horror turns 40. In addition to celebrating the film’s anniversary, the cast reunion will be a part of a special-edition reunions issue of Entertainment Weekly, helping Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Brad and Janet blow out the candles on their birthday cake.

Tim looked good, even after suffering a stroke in 2013. He and the rest of the stars recalled that, though it’s fun to watch, making the film wasn’t always a blast. “I got pneumonia, ” Susan recalled. “The house itself had been used for other classic horror films, but they hadn’t put the roof back on. That was leaking and open. And it was December, January. It was winter.”

Before Rocky Horror was a movie, it was a theatrical production that featured Tim, Patricia and Meat Loaf. Meat Loaf remembered how he “weighed about 315 pounds” and hit the stage every time wearing “fishnet stockings and high-heel shoes.”

That kind of fashion risk didn’t translate into box office gold, and the film struggled during its initial release. But, after smaller theaters started showing it at midnight on Saturdays, Rocky Horror became the longest-running theatrical release in movie history!

Impressive records aside, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is important for its message. “The thing that resonated for me more than anything was, ‘Don’t dream it, be it, ’ which was a really good idea, ” said Tim, citing the name of the musical’s most powerful song. “Really good slogan.” Susan also added, “I’ve had so many people come up to me and say that film helped them through a dark time.”
