Definition of cult classic...
A work of fiction that is extremely popular with a select audience but may or may not be successful at the time of the work's original publication/presentation...
Thus not everybody knows about Killer Klowns or Killer Tomatoes...just like not everybody likes or even understands Rocky Horror Show...
The only difference between those and Rocky Horror Show was that Rocky debuted at least 4 actors which subsequently became very successful and very famous...audience participation didn't hurt it either...
I like the movie but I can see how some will not just NOT like it but even hate it...
