The Rocky Horror Picture Show movie was an adaptation of a play in the early '70s that also starred Tim Curry in his iconic role. He also designed his makeup for the stage version of the show.

The movie has grown into a phenomenon since its release in 1975. At a midnight showing at the Waverly Theater someone started yelling things at the screen while it was played.
