The Rocky Horror Picture Show has solidified its status as a pop culture phenomenon. An adaptation of the 1973 musical of the same name, it premiered in 1975 and later gained popularity through the years for midnight film screenings, where audiences get to engage in interactive performances as the film plays. This was featured in the book and film adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
The film stars Tim Curry as transvestite alien scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Susan Sarandon as Janet Weiss, and Barry Bostwick as Brad Majors, Janet’s fiancé. When the young couple’s car breaks down in the rain near a mysterious castle, they stumble upon a bizarre costumed party, meet Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and witness the creation of a muscular man named Rocky.
The 50th anniversary vinyl release can now be purchased on Amazon and the Record Store Day Market.
