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.

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.
