    “From an experimental production in a small London theater to a smash international stage hit to a major motion picture, all in the space of 18 months! The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an outrageous assemblage of the most stereo-typed science fiction movies, Marvel comics, Frankie Avalon/Anette Funicello outings and rock n’ roll of every vintage. Running through the story is the sexual confusion of two middle American ‘Ike Age’ kids confronted by the complications of the decadent morality of the 70’s, represented in the person of the mad ‘doctor’ Frank N Furter, a transvestite from the planet Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania .” (original press release text)
