Rocky Horror Picture Show: Then and Now

Movie Addict Headquarters

Movie Addict Headquarters presents its annual tribute to The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a discussion of Fox’s new remake of that outrageous cult classic and by revisiting award-winning actor Barry Bostwick’s candid interview about his experiences connected with the original film -- including weather problems, what it was like working with Susan Sarandon, his favorite scene in the movie, and much more. Actor/radio host Chuck Skull has also been invited to participate in this special episode. Surprisingly, Rocky Horror bombed when it first opened in 1975, but those entertaining midnight showings soon catapulted the film into cult status. Adapted from the British rock musical written by Richard O’Brien, the film was directed by Jim Sharman. Tim Curry made his dynamic screen debut as the flamboyant transvestite, Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Bostwick and Susan Sarandon play an innocent couple who stumble into the Doctor’s Annual Transylvania Convention, with shocking results for everyone involved.
