Short description
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'. Harriet then spawns in and says hello and the credits roll!
What's left behind the scenes
- In Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction' (1994), one of the characters (Anthony Roccamora – Mia Wallace's bodyguard, crippled by Marcellus Wallace, who is never shown) asks to be called Rocky Horror.
- In 2005, the film was included in the National Film Registry of the U.S. Library of Congress.
- Steve Martin auditioned for the role of Brad.
- The role of the criminologist was offered to actor Vincent Price, but he declined due to a busy schedule with other projects.
- As a tradition during screenings of the film, the audience actively participates: reciting lines in unison and dancing. Some viewers bring items symbolizing a particular character, and 'virgins' (those who have not yet participated in similar revelry) are greeted by the chorus and undergo a kind of 'initiation ritual'.
- Oakley Court castle in Berkshire, where the film was shot, previously served as a location for several well-known horror films, including 'The Plague of the Zombies' (1966). The castle is a Victorian country house.
- Mick Jagger was originally considered for the role of Ferreter.
