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.
