Frankenstein and Rocky Horror Picture Show


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted



The Rocky Horror Picture show was released in August, 1975. The show was written and directed by Jim Sharman and Richard O'brien, and later became a smash hit for halloween themed musical films. The Rocky Horror Picture Show plays into Mary Shelley's 1818 Frankenstein in a rather humorous manner, for starts Frankenstein's name is Frank-N-Furter in the show who instead of being a confused and raged monster, Frank-N-Furter genuinely concerns himself with healthy domestic home life relationships, and host's parties for other Transylvanian party goers. Frank-N-Furter’s image represents a Frankenstein that we have not seen before, he represents a transexual adaptation of the original Frankenstein.
