RIP Tim Curry: The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Put on your fishnet stockings, apply a bit of extra lipstick and get ready for an evening full of glitz, madness and unforgettable songs. The Rocky Horror Picture Show isn’t just any film, but a cult phenomenon that has been turning cinemas worldwide upside down for decades.

On a stormy evening, the respectable couple Brad and Janet break down in their car and seek help at a mysterious country house. There they meet the flamboyant scientist Dr Frank-N-Furter, who sweeps them into a bizarre world full of seduction, experiments and eccentric characters. What begins as an innocent evening soon turns into a wild night where absolutely anything goes.

With catchy songs such as ‘Time Warp’, ‘Sweet Transvestite’ and ‘Science Fiction/Double Feature’, the 1975 film has become one of the most famous cult films of all time. But the charm of The Rocky Horror Picture Show lies not only in the music and the over-the-top costumes. 

Above all, the film celebrates breaking free from conventions: be yourself, embrace the strange and, above all, don’t worry about what’s ‘proper’.
