The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 British Parody Musical comedy that satirizes science fiction and horror B-movies. It was one of the first successful midnight movies and has gained a cult following. Because of the cult following it has spawned a sequel Shock Treatment, as well as merchandise such as video games, toys, comic books and trading cards. Richard O'Brien has also attempted (and failed) to write scripts for movies and plays to further the story.
Famous quotes containing the words rocky, horror and/or media:
“Who will join in the march to the Rocky Mountains with me, a sort of high-pressure-double-cylinder-go-it-ahead-forty-wildcats- tearin’ sort of a feller?... Git out of this warming-pan, ye holly-hocks, and go out to the West where you may be seen.”
—Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“This horror of pain is a rather low instinct and ... if I think of human beings I’ve known and of my own life, such as it is, I can’t recall any case of pain which didn’t, on the whole, enrich life.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
