While driving home during a rain filled night, straight-laced lovebirds Brad Majors and Janet Weiss end up by chance at the castle of one Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his strange and bizarre entourage, and find that he's having a party. This is no ordinary party, no ordinary night. This is the unveiling of the doctor's latest creation: Rocky Horror, a man-made Adonis that will give absolute pleasure. Over the course of the night, Frank seduces both Brad and Janet, Janet and Rocky become biblically involved, and Dr. Everett Von Scott arrives looking for his nephew Eddie (whom Frank killed earlier in this film).
This is an exceedingly grand visual and musical camp satire of the golden days of the B-movie horror and science-fiction genres. Projected along with a musical soundtrack to give audience participation a new meaning in dimension, time and space, this shall be a night that both Brad and Janet will remember for a very long time in the sexually kinky, rock 'n roll, rock-opera world of a. Trivia According to, preparations for the motorcycle scene saw several accidents on the set. His stuntman drove the motorcycle through the scene including up and down several steep ramps. The bike fell off the top tier and landed upside down pinning the stuntman underneath it. Ran over and somehow mustered enough strength to lift the heavy bike just enough to move it off of him. The stuntman did not move for sometime but eventually opened his eyes and told everyone he was OK.
He later told him that it was an old stuntman trick to make sure he wasn't suffering any pain or serious injuries before moving. They also needed to get shots of riding the bike up and down the ramps, so the crew rigged a wheelchair that would hold a set of handlebars and a motorcycle windshield in front of a camera as the crew pulled it up and down the steps. Unfortunately, as they were in the middle of shooting, the wheelchair hit a ridge at the bottom of the steps sending him flying towards the floor and shattering both the camera and the windshield. His stuntman tried to catch him in the process but the ramp caught the stuntman's leg and caused a serious fracture. Also suffered a deep cut on his head. Well, everybody knows that 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' is probably the ultimate cult classic; at this point, 'RHPS' isn't even really a cult movie anymore, due to its prominence. The plot (or whatever it is) of course has Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) and Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) going to a castle run by the bizarre Dr.
Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a 'transvestite from transsexual Transylvania'. Mostly, the movie seems like a big excuse to be weird, and they do just that to great effect. And who ever would have guessed that Susan Sarandon, now known for serious roles, could do such a cool job singing? So, was 'RHPS' trying to tell us anything?
It's just so neat that you just have to sit back and enjoy. And enjoy you will, even if you think that nothing good came out of the '70s (I, for one, don't hold that opinion).

They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark. She looked at him, and he felt a spark tingle to his bones. It was then he felt alone, and wished that he'd gone straight, and watched out for a simple twist of fate.

They walked along by the old canal. A little confused, I remember well.
Stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright. She felt the heat of the night, and hit him like a freight train. Moving with a simple twist of fate. A saxophone somewhere far off playing, as she was walking on by the arcade. As a light burst through a beat up shade, where he was waking up. She dropped the coin into the cup of another blind man at the gate. And forgot about a simple twist of fate.
He woke up, the room was bare. He didn't see her anywhere.

He told himself she didn't care. Push the window open wide. He felt that emptiness inside, to which cheaters could not blame.
Caught on by a simple twist of fate. She hears the ticking of the clock, and walks along with a parrot that talks. Hunts her down by the waterfront docks, where the sailors all come in.
Maybe she'll come out again. How long must he wait? One more time, for a simple twist of fate. People told me it's a sin, to know and feel too much within.
Still I feel she was my twin, but I lost the ring. She was born in spring, and I was born too late! On a simple twist of fate. Twist the night away. Come on baby, peppermint twist. Oil and grime.

All sound files presented here are in format (as well as lossless format in some cases), and were taken from various out of print albums, live concerts, or similar. Some tracks were available only in limited vinyl releases from more than three decades ago, and have never been re-released. They are presented here for the simple reason that otherwise, most of us would never be able to listen to them at all. I'm frequently asked why there are so many sound files from obscure cast albums in for instance, while popular tracks from are nowhere to be found.
