Moore Theatre

This is the theatre where “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” played its original run in Seattle in 1976. The theatre was known as the Moore Egyptian at that time, and “Rocky Horror” played on a double bill with Brian DePalma’s “Phantom of the Paradise” for quite a long time. I saw it multiple times during the summer and fall of that year. Around this same time, the Moore Egyptian was also one of the first Seattle theatres to show “underground” midnight movies. They had the first Seattle showing of all the early John Waters classics, such as “Pink Flamingos” and “Female Trouble” as part of this series. Ah…the memories!
