This surprisingly witty and wickedly naughty Queen Mother of cult movies is a campy, vampy, kinky musical send-up of old horror flicks. Revealing what happens when strait-laced Brad and Janet get stranded at the weird castle of Frank N Furter — Tim Curry wringing every ounce of deranged humour from his glam-rock role in a landmark performance — it cleverly satirises Frankenstein, haunted-house mysteries, science-fiction clichés and Carry On sexual identity confusion. The score is justifiably famous — standout songs are Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me and Sweet Transvestite — and if you've never seen it, give yourself a treat. If you have, then let's do The Time Warp again!

A spoof of horror and science-fiction movies, based on a hit musical, and notable mainly for the high-energy performance of Tim Curry, repeating his stage success as a transvestite transsexual from Transylvania.
