The Rocky Horror Picture Show, musical comedy-horror film released in 1975 that has gained a cult following. It was directed by Jim Sharman and written by Sharman and Richard O’Brien. The film, and the stage musical on which it is based, is a tribute to B-movies of the 1930s–60s in the horror and science fiction genres. The Rocky Horror Picture Show came out of the 1960s counterculture in the United States, Canada, and western Europe, and it was one of the first musicals to include characters who had fluid gender identities. It is remarkable for the level of worship and obsession it inspires in fans, who create an immersive environment at screenings. As of 2025, it has continued to have limited screenings and may be considered one of the longest-running theatrical releases in film history.
