CARROLLTON, Ga. -- An old movie, an even older stage play, and a new controversy.

We're talking about a famous movie -- or infamous, as some consider it -- "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

It is a cult classic, a musical that was released in 1975 and is still playing at art houses and neighborhood movie theaters, such as Atlanta's Plaza Theater every Friday at midnight.

But it is for "adults only." It is rated R.
