A beautiful renovated theater which now offers rocking style seats and Dolby Digital Surround sound. The Rialto plays “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” every Friday night at midnight.

But now, the colony is another 2 screen theater in Raleigh.

I loved the Rialto when it was the Colony. I used to go there in the summer of 1980 and catch the $1.00 matinees of “Star Trek The Motion Picture and all of the horror movies such as Friday the 13th and American Werewolf In London. I even used to play in a Rocky Horror cast from 1990 to 1993.
Here is a photo of the Rialto.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been a cult late show favorite since it premiere at the Rialto every Friday night since the late 1980’s…..Always shown every Friday night at midnight.
