Released 50 years ago, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been one of the most successful cult hits, particularly as it holds the record for the longest-running theatrical release in film history. It is difficult to imagine such longevity back in the 1970s, when an out-of-work actor called Richard O’Brien had an idea for a science-fiction stage play musical. It soon became a cult phenomenon courtesy of people who embraced it and made it their own, as captured by director Andreas Zerr in Sane Inside Insanity: The Phenomenon of Rocky Horror.
