Transcript of The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Introduce   The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 British

musical comedy film that parodies science fiction and B-movie horror films.

   The film introduces Tim Curry and features Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick along with cast members from the original Kings Road production of the play first performed in the Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court Theatre in 1973.

The Story

    The host of this gathering is a transvestite clad in lingerie, Dr. Frank N. Furter , a mad scientist who claims to be from another planet. With assistants Columbia and Magenta looking on, Frank unveils his latest creation – Rocky . Frank brings to life a blonde young beefcake wearing nothing but skimpy shorts, who launches into song in his first minute of life.

    Just when Brad and Janet think things couldn't get any stranger, a biker – Eddie bursts onto the scene to reclaim Columbia, his ex-girlfriend. When Frank kills the biker, it's clear that Brad and Janet will be guests for the night, and that they may be next on Frank's list –

whether for murder or carnal delights is uncertain. And just what is that mystery meat they're eating for dinner, anyway?

       The performance is interrupted by the

appearance of Riff Raff and Magenta, who stage a coup and announce their plan to return to the planet - Transsexual!
