If a curious viewer would like to see Jim Sharman's 1975 cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," it should be stressed in the strongest possible terms that it should be seen in a theater with a live shadowcast. If you live near one of the few theaters that exhibits midnight shows of "Rocky Horror" on a regular basis, by all means, see it there. If it's your first time going, many "Rocky Horror" troupes will still put you through a "virgin sacrifice," the details of which are meant to be kept secret. You are meant to sing along with Richard O'Brien's songs, hoot and holler to the sight of Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick in their charming underclothes, and shout obscenities at the top of your lungs. "Rocky Horror" is an experience, a rite of passage for all good happy mutants.

Ask any millennial if they remember Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow, and their reply will probably be:
“Bogieeeessss!”
Once they’ve stopped gleefully screaming the show’s catchphrase, they’ll tell you it was a weekend kids’ TV programme on the BBC presented by Richard ‘Dick’ McCourt and Dominic Wood – aka comedy duo Dick and Dom – and it was also pure, unadulterated, I’m-writing-to-Ofcom chaos.
Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow – whose name was a parody of the Sacha Baron Cohen film Ali G InDaHouse – aired between 2002 and 2006. It became a cult hit with kids and students alike, thanks to its puerile humour, its complete absurdity (once a cat randomly appeared and sang a song about Stoke-on-Trent) and the fact that Dick and Dom seemed to be having the absolute time of their lives making total havoc on live TV.
Was there any kind of format to this live mayhem?...

Richard O’Brien has revealed that the inspiration for his most famous creation — Dr. Frank N. Furter, the “sweet transvestite” mad scientist played by Tim Curry in the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show — was inspired by his own experiences cross-dressing and grappling with his gender identity as a young aspiring actor from New Zealand living in London in the early 1970s.
“It actually comes from me,” says O’Brien, who wrote the book and score to the original Rocky Horror Show stage play that inspired the film (which turns 50 this month), and played the put-upon butler Riff Raff in both. “I used to beat myself up about the hand I was dealt. I don’t know how it works. I have no idea. I’ve read many tomes about the subject of the transvestic nature. It’s the cards you’re dealt. In a binary world it’s a bit of curse,...

There may be only 104 days of summer vacation, but "Phineas and Ferb" is returning for even more adventures. Jeff "Swampy" Marsh is reuniting with Dan Povenmire for 40 all-new episodes of the Emmy Award-winning series about stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, their secret agent pet Perry "Agent P" the Platypus, their older sister Candace, and the countless chaotic capers they get into while school is out. The series renewal was announced back in January, but it wasn't until today that Marsh's return was confirmed.

In 1968, when Tim Curry was only 22 years old, he landed his first major acting gig, performing at the Shaftesbury theater in London. He played the role of Woof and was part of the ensemble in a production of "Hair," the popular counterculture "hippie" musical Gerome Ragni, James Rado, and Galt MacDermot. Woof was the role played by Don Dacus in Miloš Forman's celebrated 1979 film adaptation. Prior to this, Curry studied acting in college, and had sung in choirs as a boy. It seems Curry had no screenplay-ready moments of catharsis or quirky episodes of serendipity when wanting to become an actor; he wasn't plucked from a construction job by a producer. He wanted to act, he got educated, and he got acting jobs. Sometimes, we merely achieve what we set out to do.
It was on the set of "Hair" that Curry would meet one Richard O'Brien, a stunt performer for feature films,...

As the yacht drew into Port de Cannes and the camera shutters went into overdrive, it seemed from a distance that five disparate versions of Audrey Hepburn were making the grandest of entrances. Sporting the sunglasses and headscarves of 1950s starlets – variously paired with leopard-print chiffon, rainbow crop-tops and sports-branded underwear – this was a ragtag bunch of ingenues. There was an elegant one, a redheaded one, a childlike one, one who looked a bit angry about something, and one seemingly fresh from a set of mixed doubles.
Waving to the hordes of screaming fans on the docks, the Spice Girls swept ashore at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival ready to strut, pose, backflip and karate-kick their way right through the silver screen.

Out of the roughly 350 million books that Stephen King has sold throughout his career, the 1138 pages he wrote about an evil, trans-dimensional clown may encompass his most famous, lasting work. "It" hit bookstands in September of 1986 and went on terrorize suburban parents and the few brave children who stole a copy off the family bookshelf to read alone with a flashlight under their bed covers. In 2017, Andy Muschietti's film adaptation of "It" went on to gross a staggering 700 million at the box office and the sequel "It Chapter Two" pushed the final tally to well over a billion dollars.

In the 1975 musical comedy horror "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," a recently engaged couple, Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) and Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick), seeks help at a nearby castle after their car breaks down on a dark, rainy night. The castle belongs to Dr. Frank-n-Furter, a mad scientist and flamboyant "transvestite" (his words) who's in the middle of throwing a lively celebration called the Annual Transylvanian Convention. Dr. Frank-n-Furter invites the couple to spend the night and shows them his "favorite obsession," his creation of Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood), an artificially made muscle-bound man with blond hair and gold undies. Trapped in the castle, the naïve couple's relationship is tested by Dr. Frank-n-Furter's antics. The movie is a parodic homage to the sci-fi and campy horror films that came before it.
In his breakout movie role, Tim Curry plays Dr. Frank-n-Furter. Almost a half-century later, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show...

When powerhouse vocalist-actor Meat Loaf eulogized composer-producer Jim Steinman last April in Rolling Stone, the singer – who died Thursday at age 74 – said of his “Bat Out of Hell” partner, “We belonged heart and soul to each other. We didn’t know each other. We were each other.”
Meat Loaf (born Marvin Lee Aday) could not have stated the obvious better, as each man’s operatic, oversized talents were only matched by their level of grand theatricality, with thundering melodicism and melodramatic lyricism at the top of the list of their skill sets.
The best Meat Loaf songs – even those without Steinman’s tower-toppling compositions – come on in an epic, adrenalized rush. Even when singing a power ballad, Meat Loaf was loud and brazenly and heartbrokenly emotive. Here are some of the most dramatic and impactful of Meal Loaf’s musical moments:

Hello, dear readers! If you’ve been following along the last few weeks, we here at Daily Dead have been celebrating all the amazing horror and sci-fi films that were released throughout the year 1981. And even though we’ve covered so many fantastic films, I wanted to take an opportunity to turn the spotlight on just a few more standout movies that were released during that year that are deserving of some love before we bid our Class of 1981 celebration a fond farewell.
Cheers!

If you are a movie geek, just knowing that a movie is produced by Dino De Laurentiis is a sign that the movie is usually worth your attention. Flash Gordon though is also a film that doesn’t just need that association, it instead stands on its own; and while it may not be Star Wars, it definitely has a place in the hearts of science fiction fans.
Finding himself kidnapped by Dr. Hans Zarkov (Topol), Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones) and friend Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) find themselves travelling to the planed Mongo. When arriving they find themselves fighting the tyrannical Emporer Ming (Max von Sydow) not only to save Earth, but maybe even the entire universe.

"Tell me who it was!" Ace Entertainment and Ascendant Releasing have debuted an official trailer for the indie action film The Stolen, starring Alice Eve as a woman who goes off on her own dangerous adventure to find and save her kidnapped child. Set in the 1800s in New Zealand, Eve stars as the wife of a farmer who is murdered. She's then forced to join a convoy of ex-convicts, whores, hustlers and a native Maori warrior heading for the rough mining town of Gold Town, where she hopes to find her son and bring him home. The film's full cast includes Jack Davenport, Graham McTavish, Richard O'Brien, Stan Walker, Cohen Holloway, Glen Levy, Gillian MacGregor, and Stig Eldred. This doesn't look so bad, but it also just doesn't look good either. Alice Eve tries so hard but just isn't a great actress, and the rest looks forgettable. Here's the...

Fox’s new made-for-tv musical remake of the cult favorite The Rocky Horror Picture Show aired last night and brought us on a second trip to the madcap castle of Dr. Frank N. Furter. The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do The Time Warp Again tries to recapture the wacky magic of the original source material but doesn’t quite succeed. Despite some good moments, this reboot only makes you want to watch the 1975 film again.
When people say “There are some movies that shouldn’t be remade”, they could be talking about The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). Based on the popular play, the bizarre cult favorite written by Richard O'Brien and Jim Sharman was a unique piece of cinematic satire that mixed 1970s sensibilities with edgy humor and nostalgia for old sci-fi and horror films. It was a ‘moment-in-time’ creation that hit all the right notes for...

By your powers combined, or at least the powers of some folks in Hollywood, a Captain Planet movie is in development.
This just in: Paramount is developing a Captain Planet movie. Remember Captain Planet? Captain Planet And The Planeteers was a somewhat preachy cartoon with an environmental message that ran from 1993-1996. Depending on how old you were at the time, you either have fond memories of it (and its brightly designed, but strangely mulleted title character) or found it insufferable (primarily because of his supporting cast of teenage 'planeteers'), but it's unlikely you've forgotten it.
Captain Planet would be summoned "by your powers combined" when the Planeteers would work together with their magic rings to fight villains with names like 'Hoggish Greedly.'
The nostalgia factor aside, there's some interesting talent involved in bringing the Captain Planet movie to life. For starters, Paramount is the studio...

If the idea of yet another TV game show with an uninspiring presenter and ever so slight spin on the tried and tested Q&A formula fills you with apathy, you're not alone. Although TV quiz shows often rake in the viewers for a relatively low production budget, hence their popularity with TV studios, the whole genre feels a little stagnant. Perhaps it's the rise of the Internet, a general change in viewer culture, and the changing tastes that come with it. While many shows of the past delighted audiences with images of shiny new appliances, cars, and holidays to far-off destinations, today's shows mostly award cold, hard, and boring cash. Great for the winner, but not too interesting for the viewer. Give...

"Orange is the New Black" star Laverne Cox is set to play Dr. Frank N. Furter on the upcoming "Rocky Horror Picture Show" musical TV movie remake in the works at Fox.
Featuring music, lyrics and book by Richard O'Brien, the original show premiered in 1973 and the film in 1975 with the movie following a just-engaged couple (Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick) whose car breaks down outside a mysterious castle. The pair soon finding themselves overnight guests of the mad Doctor (Tim Curry), a self-descibed "sweet transvestite from transexual Transylvania".
The film developed a cult following and now holds the record for the single longest theatrical run of all time, having consistently played in theaters for 30 years thanks largely to midnight screenings.
Kenny Ortega ("High School Musical") will direct, choreograph and executive produce the new telemovie which Gail Berman is producing.

Some key members of the Rocky Horror Picture Show cast reunited for an interview on Today to celebrate the cult classic's 40th anniversary and discuss the impact it had on their lives. "I've had so many people come up to me and say that film helped them through a dark time," Susan Sarandon, who played the film's Janet Weiss, said.
"The thing that resonated for me, more than anything, was 'Don't dream it, be it,' which was a really good slogan," said Tim Curry, who starred as transvestite Transylvanian Dr.

"Let's do the Time Warp again!" And again. And again.
