UA Cinema 4 - Tyler Mall, Riverside, CA

United Artists Cinema 4 - Tyler Mall, also known as the "UA Cinema 4", was a multiplex theater located in Riverside, CA. The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened there on October 6, 1976 as part of a general re-release of the film in the greater Los Angeles area, paired with Phantom of the Paradise. It returned as a midnight movie on February 2, 1979 and played there for over 3 years. It was considered “THE” Rocky Horror theater for the Inland Empire. The Riverside Rockys were a loosely organized group of fans that attended the earliest Rocky Horror screenings at the theater. By November 1979, Erotic Nightmares were performing there, becoming one of the first regular, full-time Rocky Horror performing groups outside of Los Angeles. Erotic Nightmares remained there until February 1981. Upon their departure, Sins of the Flesh - Riverside, CA became the cast for the theater until the film stopped playing in December 1982. In 2001, the theater was closed permanently and converted into a Barnes And Noble bookstore, where it still stands.
