August 14, 1975 was a day that changed movies forever. The ultimate cult classic midnight movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show , was released on this day 39 years ago.

VIDEO: Roger Corman Watches Bikini-Clad Beauty Get Eaten in Sharktopus Cameo

There was a time when it was thought that Roger Corman would actually direct Sharktopus , the SyFy channel shlocktastic midnight movie about a government engineered shark/octopus hybrid that debuted last fall. He didn’t, of course — but that doesn’t mean the indie pioneer wasn’t allowed to join in the fun.
