A cult classic orginally released in 1979 on August the 15th.It was deemed a flop in movie theaters the first few years it was released,and suffered a revive of the culture in the mid eighties.It is the first of two published scripts(The Rocky Horror Picture Show and ShockTreatment),and one non-published script(Revenge Of The Old Queen).It was written by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brian and started as a play on broadway before the orginal movie was released in 1979.
It is a story about of a young couple,Janet Weiss(Susan Sarandon) and Brad Majors(Barry Bostwick)who become engaged and go on a trip on a stormy November evening to visit the man who introduced them,one Dr.Everett Scott(the late Jonanthan Adams),also ex-science teacher at Denton Highschool.They suffer a tire blowout and are wisked into the world of a grandeur and extravangant(and amazingly sexy)Transvestite alien from Transexual,Transylvania named Dr.FrankNFurter/Frankenfurter(Tim Curry),they also come to meet his handyman Riff Raff(Richard O'Brian) and his domestic Magenta(Patricia Quinn),also in the cast is a groupie named Columbia(Little Nell Campbell).They witness Dr.FrankNFurter's creation being born,a study man in golden briefs named Rocky Horror(Peter Hinwood).And witness the death of an ex-delivery boy named Eddie(Meatloaf).They inevitably are drawn into "an erotic nightmare beyond any measure",and sub-come to "sins of the flesh".The story also includes The Criminologist(Charles Gray),who,though lacking a neck, narrates the film to a certain degree.
It has become a hit with all kinds of people,and has spawned merchandise galore,various national and international fanclubs,parties,and even a RockyCon,a convention dedicated to the movie.

Greatest movie/theater show ever made. The original play was thought up by the genius Richard O'Brien in 1973, and made into a kickass movie in 1978. Many casts across the world still perform this show today.
Music, dancing, men in leather and fishnets, dead sexy transvestites, and more addictive than crack...

The definitive cult film. Enjoyed at midnight in theatres around the world.
Started life as a play written by Richard O'Brien in 1973 and soon made into a movie in 1975.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an outrageous assemblage of the most stereo-typed science fiction movies.
