The Rocky Horror Picture Show was Richard O' Brien's outrageous gothic masterpiece. It also starred Tim Curry and Meatloaf. Tim Curry played a sexual deviant (Dr N Furter) who is also a mad scientist who cross dresses, he comes from The Planet Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania.
The story is about an ordinary couple of people Brad and Janet on their honeymoon. One night they seek shelter from a storm at Dr Furter's castle.
This just happens to be the night his creature the adonis humanoid sex toy Rocky is about to be born. It contains thrills as well as chills. There are some really good records in it sung by O'Brien such as Time Warp, Over at the Frankenstein Place, Whatever Happened To Saturday Night and Sweet Transvestite.
This was probably the first ever audience participation film, it was a pity it flopped in it's original release, but then it became a late night hit in London and New York, where young people dressed like their favourite cast members and sang the songs from the film while joining in with the routines. I didn't like the film, but I know a lot of people who did.
