I have asked a ton of people what the movie means..like the story, and no one has ever had the same answer. Can someone please give me a clear explanation of the entire story of the rocky horror picture show?

Answer 1

Any one of the three will help you.

After Janet accepts Brad's marriage proposal, the happy couple drive away from Denton, Ohio, only to get lost in the rain. They stumble upon the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite who is holding the annual convention of visitors from the planet Transsexual. Frank-N-Furter unveils his creation, a young man named Rocky Horror, who fears the doctor and rejects his sexual advances. When Frank-N-Furter announces that he is returning to the galaxy Transylvania, Riff Raff the butler and Magenta the maid declare that they have plans of their own. (An audience participation film)



A story of creation, love, hate, adventure, and, most of all, sex; the story begins in Denton, Ohio as Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, after getting engaged (Dammit Janet), travel to see "the man who began it," but wind up at the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite alien from the planet of Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania (Sweet Transvestite). And they meet Riff Raff, Magenta, and Columbia which leads to "doing the Time Warp again!" They discover they have been there on a "special night." Frank's creation is to be born! As Rocky has been revealed (Sword of Damocles / I Can Make You A Man), rebel Eddie, Frank's last-recent creation, ponders in on his motorcycle (Hot Patootie-Bless My Soul) whom Frank kills. In comes Dr. Everett Von Scott, he's come for Eddie (Eddie's Teddy) which results in the discovery of Eddie's deceased body. Frank chases Janet and Brad and Dr. Scott chase Frank (Planet Schmanet Janet), which results in everybody (but Frank) getting frozen. Enter the floor show (Rose Tint My World / Don't Dream It / Wild & Untamed Thing) which then turns into the horrifying death of both Frank and Columbia die and the castle's blasting off! Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott survive and leave with torn clothes and battered bodies.



The story of an ordinary couple and one unforgettable night at the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a mad-scientist from the planet Transexual. Brad and Janet have arrived on their special night, the night of Dr. Furter's "beautiful creature", Rocky, the Adonis humanoid created for the release of Frank's "tension", was to be born.

Answer 2

Any group of people can watch the same movie and get something different out of it. But if you want my opinion, here goes....
The aliens (Riff-Raff, Magenta and The Master) were from the planet Transsexual. The came to Earth to enjoy a life filled with pleasure (sex, drugs and roc-n-roll). After Brad and Janet, get engaged, the travel to meet up with their former professor. During this trip, the end up at the house of said aliens. Brad and janet both, via Frank (and Rocky) experience their sexual awakening. Basically, it's all about sex!

Answer 3

It doesn't have to mean anything. It was just a funny movie. If you don't get it then it doesn't matter and no one can explain it to you. Maybe you just had to be around in the 70's.
