I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey… The
cult hit musical The Rocky Horror Picture
Show currently holds the record for the longest running release in cinema
history having never been pulled by 20th Century Fox since its
release in 1975. Chances are if you are in a large city that you’ll be able to
find the film on at a midnight screening sometime in the near future. Though in
no way a hit on its release, the film has since made one hundred times its
original budget and has become one of the most popular musical films in history
and my personal favourite.
Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and his new fiancée Janet Weiss
(Susan Sarandon) are on their way to visit their old college professor when
they break down in the middle of nowhere. Spotting a castle not far away they
head off to see if they can use the phone but discover on their arrival that
they have turned up on the night of an unusual party hosted by transvestite
scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) to celebrate the birth of a creature
that Frank-N-Furter has created in his lab.
