(into early Sunday morning). BARRY BOSTWICK, who starred as “Brad

In The Rocky Horror Picture Show, sweethearts Brad Majors (Bostwick)
and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon), stuck with a flat tire during a
storm, visit the creepy home of eccentric Dr. Frank N Furter (Tim
Curry), a transvestite scientist in search of a phone. As their
innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters,
including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf) and a creepy butler (Richard
O'Brien). The film, famed for midnight showings, has been screened
regularly since its September 1975 U.S. release, often with audiences
in full costume playing out the scenes as they are shown.
The event will also feature a display of numerous items from the
original movie, for an even more authentic experience for attendees.
Among them are original costumes, original costume designs,
handwritten song lyrics, scripts, contracts and behind-the-scenes
photos, from the collection of Larry Viezel, noted Rocky Horror
superfan, historian and collector.
