If you lined up all of the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW documentaries end to end, you'd have a, well, a very lengthy thing indeed. But this particular 5-minute doc is one of the earliest, made by Columbia College student Jim Doherty in 1978, emphasizing the RHPS fandom at Chicago's Biograph theater, and is certainly a fascinating time piece of midnight movie fandom in the Chicago area. The Biograph is notable as the theater in which Dillinger was shot in 1934, and is no longer showing films today. (I do, however, have great memories of seeing the likes of Jack Hill, John Waters and Doris Wishman there for screenings.)
