The Rocky Horror (Picture) Show

Science Fiction / Double Feature

The Rocky Horror Picture Show starts with a criminologist telling the story of two sweethearts, Janet and Brad, heading home from a wedding and get a flat tire out of nowhere in the middle of the road. They decide to look for help and discover an eerie mansion, while there they meet a houseful of wild characters. One character, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, chooses to create a boyfriend for himself, while two other characters, Magenta and Riff Raff, are aliens from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a musical by Richard O’Brien, who plays Riff Raff in the film. The musical pays tribute to science fiction and horror B movies from the 1930s to the early 1960s. Most of the original cast from the Pre-Broadway, West End and Broadway productions played their roles for the motion picture. The movie has a fan following and became a cult classic with movie parties, shadow casts, and conventions across the United States. It was preserved in the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2005 because it is culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant,
