The Rocky Horror Show

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 musical science fiction comedy horror film directed by Jim Sharman. The screenplay was written by Sharman and Richard O'Brien based on the 1973 musical stage production, The Rocky Horror Show, music, book and lyrics by O'Brien. The production is a satirical tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through early 1970s. The film stars Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick along with cast members from the original productions such as Patricia Quinn, Richard O'Brien, and Little Nell. The movie starts with a pair of red lips singing about the chain of events that science fiction has been following ("Science Fiction/Double Feature"). During which the characters are introduced which are Brad, Janet, Frank-N-Furter, Columbia, Magenta, Riff-Raff, and Dr. Scott. After the song, it shows Brad Majors and Janet Weiss both at their friend's wedding, and when everyone is cleared out, Brad proposes to Janet through song ("Dammit Janet"). She, of course, says yes. Only hours later, the newly engaged couple of Brad and Janet are stuck in a thunder storm while driving down a distant country road. While they are driving down the road, they are passed by several people dressed in leather and riding on motorcycles, going the opposite way they are going. They then get a flat tire at the end of the road where Brad remembers a castle that they had passed a mile behind. He tells Janet to stay in the car while he goes to the castle to see if they have a phone he could use, but Janet comes with him.
