The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a film adaptation of Richard O’Brien’s 1973 stage musical. It follows a newly engaged couple, Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon), whose car breaks down in the remote countryside. The pair end up at a strange party held at a castle owned by the mysterious Dr. Frank-N-Furter–played by Tim Curry in his debut on-screen role. It’s a wild movie that blends comedy, horror, and musical genres into a unique film, earning a cult following when it premiered in 1975 that persists to this day.
Plenty of other 4K Blu-rays are launching in the Fall months, including several new horror releases dropping in time for Halloween. These include some of the year’s biggest horror movies like 28 Years Later[3], which launches on Blu-ray on September 23 and has a steelbook edition 4K Blu-ray available to preorder for $48.49.
