This cult classic, filled with eccentric characters, unforgettable songs, and interactive potential, provides an experience that stands out among Halloween entertainment, making it worthy of an annual watch.

A campy celebration of horror, music, and comedy  

The Rocky Horror Picture Show blends horror with music and comedy in an over-the-top and delightfully eerie spectacle. It follows Brad and Janet, who find themselves stranded at a spooky mansion after their car breaks down.

The mansion is filled with crazy characters, including  Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Riff Raff, and Rocky, who is an artificially created “perfect man.” The story unfolds through several catchy musical numbers like “The Time Warp” and “Sweet Transvestite” that will get stuck in your head and remain there for days. For those worried about the Halloween elements, there is a Gothic castle, mad science experiments, and a larger-than-life villain.
