A different kind of bite.

Directed by Jim Sharman and starring Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick, the film follows Brad and Janet, a newly engaged couple returning from a friends' wedding. A storm catches them on the road and their car breaks down. Soaked and unsure what to do, they set off on foot to look for help until they spot an isolated castle in the middle of the night. Inside, they come across a group of strangers in elaborate costumes throwing a party. Brad and Janet just want to call for help and leave as soon as possible, but the house seems to have other plans for them.

Trivia about The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Tim Curry decided that Dr. Frank N. Furter would speak like the Queen of the United Kingdom, with an outrageously posh accent.
Fox insisted that the roles of Brad and Janet be played by American actors: Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon.
The film's budget was 1.6 million dollars, far higher than that of the stage production.
In the United States, the film was pulled from its eight opening cities, and the planned New York screening on Halloween night was canceled.
