On today's episode, we're heading up to that weird castle that we passed a few miles back and entering at our own risk while we revisit the absolutely seminal cult classic film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). This movie was directed by Jim Sharman and written by Richard O'Brien.
This movie stars Tim Curry (Clue, Charlie's Angels, Scary Movie 2), Susan Sarandon (Thelma and Louise, Stepmom, The Banger Sisters), Barry Bostwick (Weekend at Bernie's II, Teen Beach Movie, Incredibles 2), Richard O'Brien (Shock Treatment, Spice World, Elvira's Haunted Hills), Patricia Quinn (Shock Treatment, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life), and Nell Campbell (Shock Treatment, Pink Floyd-The Wall).
This film is the definition of a midnight movie that laid the groundwork for other cult films to come. This movie embraces the oddballs of the world and is a beautiful example of camp. Please do yourself a favor and pop this movie on. Enjoy the wonderful music, enjoy the horrid acting, and give yourself over to absolute pleasure.
