    About

    “Spaces of transgression and safety have never been more important (or in scarce supply) than now, and at its best, “Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror” offers that same playground for its viewers to experience.” – RogerEbert.com

    “Lively and engaging…both an insightful chronicle of Rocky Horror’s origins and legacy as well as a heartfelt tribute to its fans that explores its enduring appeal.” – The Queer Review

    From humble origins as a London fringe theater play to its meteoric rise, fall and resurrection as the biggest cult film of all time, this is the definitive story of the Rocky Horror Show. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Lou Adler, the documentary explores what makes the play and film so singular: Its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs that took over popular culture. The cult phenomenon that sprung around it is unparalleled, and created not only the midnight screenings which continue to this day, but also a safe haven for those who ever felt different or marginalized.
