🎥 Rocky Horror at 50: How a Cult Classic Took Over the World
Richard O’Brien’s stage musical, The Rocky Horror Show, was a bold, sexually-unabashed parody of sci-fi and B-movies when it debuted. In 1975, it leapt to the big screen as The Rocky Horror Picture Show — but at first, it flopped.
Then came the fans.
Midnight screenings transformed the movie into one of the most legendary cult classics of all time. With audience participation, costumes, and interactive call-outs, the film became a global phenomenon that has been running continuously for 50 years.
In this CBS feature, Tracy Smith sits down with stars Tim Curry and Barry Bostwick, producer Lou Adler, and film scholar Jeffrey Weinstock to explore how this outrageous little movie grew into a cultural juggernaut.
