"I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey." -The Criminologist

The first time The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975) is seen, audience's may feel a bit confused or shocked, however Rocky Horror for a lot of people is a cult classic. The music, dialogue and costumes are exciting, humorous and fun making Rocky Horror unlike any other film. The bright, sexy costumes have inspired a lot of fancy dress themes. The music is also fun and memorable with popular favourites such as "Time Warp", "Sweet Transvestite" and "Science Fiction/Double Feature". Although the film was not a hit on release, it has inspired regular viewings since which has made it a cult classic and something more than the movie. A different than mainstream film but all in all a fun classic.
