Story Synopsis:
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an unforgettable contemporary musical that has become a solid cult classic. It tells the story of Janet (Sarandon) and Brad (Bostwick), who become stranded and seek shelter in a gothic mansion full of kinky characters, including the transvestite scientist Dr. Frank N. Furter (Curry). Famous for its midnight screenings, The Rocky Horror Picture Show inspired loyal fans to memorize the script, dress as their favorite characters, sing along with the songs and bring props like squirt guns, toilet paper, and rice.
LaserDisc Picture:
The matted 1.85:1 picture is sure to please with excellent color fidelity, vivid colors, natural fleshtones and deep solid blacks. Images are generally sharp and detailed throughout with good shadow detail and contrast. While there is slight noise, there are no distracting artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack features a wonderfully fun, but subtly enveloping stereo music score, in an otherwise mono production.
