    Musical Comedy Horror
    Movie starts with a marriage function. Hero proposes to the heroine. On their way, the car broke down. In search of a telephone, they reach a castle. There were some strange things happening there. A crazy Dr. Frank-N-Furter gives them hospitality.

    One of the best musical horror comedy films. Great performance from all the cast. Not a second of lagging. The music gives excellent blending to the movie.

    There are many reference to other films, especially Frankenstein.

    Highly recommended.

    FAQ5

    • What exactly do Dr. Everett Scott and Frank N Furter have to do with each other?
    • What's the difference between the US and UK versions?
    • When I started to attend Midnight Showings, they had the U.S. version of the film. Why do they only show the U.K. version these days?
