April marks the 50th anniversary of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' as the longest-running theatrical release in movie history.
I was at the 30th anniversary at Queen's Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue. After the show, I was in the downstairs bar, chatting to a couple of people. I turned around and going up the stairs was a man in such high heels these fetish shoes that he couldn't walk in them. He had a leather thong up his arse, and I thought to myself: I suppose I'm responsible for that, aren't I?
Patricia Quinn thought she knew everything there was to know about Rocky Horror fans. The 81-year-old actor originated the role of Magenta in the stage production of The Rocky Horror Show and in the 1975 film adaptation of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The story follows a naive couple who enter a nearby castle after their car breaks down during a storm.
Consequence is celebrating Rocky Horror's 50th by giving away five (5) copies of the Rocky Horror steelbook collectible release. With both 4K UHD and Blu-ray copies, this anniversary edition includes a fresh 4K restoration of the movie and Dolby enhancements alongside a ton of special features including a karaoke viewing option, a trivia track, an audio commentary featuring stars O'Brien and Quinn, and new featurettes.
