E. Bernard Warg probably buys lots of toilet paper.

He's gearing up for the possible return of The Rocky Horror Picture Show to State College, and toilet paper, along with newspapers, squirt guns and other paraphernalia, are prerequisites for the event.

But Warg might have to wait a long time.

Finding quality copies of the 1975 cult film presents the greatest stumbling block to returning it to town, said Larry Collins, Cinema World, Inc.'s head film buyer.

"I defintely love the idea," he said. "I'm trying to find a decent print to run. I don't want to bring a bad print."

Warg, a Philipsburg resident, posted a petition in Comics Swap, 110 S. Fraser, for the film's fans to voice their support to Cinema World. Warg predicted Rocky Horror loyals will see it if it arrives.

"I found a lot of people that are into it," Warg said. "The movie's really not all that good -- if you've never seen it, you're like, 'So?' "

The fun comes from the toilet paper, and the acting and the squirt guns, he said, things which may cause movie programmers to cringe.

To quell rowdiness, management should set guidelines for behavior, Warg said. The short list should include acceptable things to throw, unacceptable things to throw, a warning not to set fires and other special case scenarios. And especially, "No whipping cream -- nothing that goes splat."

Actions like this besmirch the film's name according to one zealous petition signer in Comics Swap.

"It's a valuable piece of pop culture," said Jon Leistiko (junior-psychology). "The reason it isn't here is because it has a stigma attached to it."

That stigma, Collins rebuts, is not the major reason for the film's absence.

"I've played it at the University of Pittsburgh . . . and we used to have Coke bottles thrown through the screen," he said. "I've played it years in State College and never had a problem."
