The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Synopsis:

Sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named ‘Rocky’.

Quick Thoughts:

“I can see you shiver with antici… pation!” For my full review of this cult-classic queer musical film, of course! There is something about “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” that is so wrong… and yet is perfectly right. Despite the initial stage musical being quite the indie hit, the film version actually flopped! Thankfully, late-night screenings kept it from being forgotten and those very quickly turned into participatory events that catapulted this queer film into cult classic territory. And if you haven’t seen this queer film yet – find a local screening today. Just make sure you watch it with fellow Transylvanians, because it wouldn’t be the full experience without them!
