Dr. Frank-N-Furter | Rocky Horror Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia The Rocky Horror Picture Show Frank is holding an annual, Transylvanian science convention at his castle to showcase the birth of his newest experiment, "Rocky Horror" - a fit, attractive man created solely to fulfill Frank's sexual desires. While the convention is going on, virginal, newly-engaged couple Brad Majors and Janet Weiss are travelling through the area to visit their friend and former tutor Dr. Everett Scott, to inform him of their engagement. When one of their tires blows out, they stop at Frank's castle in hopes of using a telephone (it is later implied that Frank is the one who gave them the flat). They are invited inside by Riff Raff, the hunchbacked butler, and meet the other Transylvanians, as well as the maid, Magenta - Riff Raff's sister, with whom he is in an incestuous relationship, and Columbia - a human groupie who is infatuated with Frank. Frightened and disturbed, Janet tries to persuade Brad to let them leave the castle, but she is interrupted when Frank makes an appearance.

He announces he will call someone to fix their car and offers them hospitality, meanwhile inviting them up to his laboratory to witness the birth of his creation, subtly implying he will later sleep with both of them. Brad and Janet are stripped down to their underwear and ushered to the lab by Riff Raff, Magenta and Columbia, where Frank flirts shamelessly with them both and brings his creature to life, as they watch with the other Transylvanians. Rocky, confused and frightened by his situation, flees from a lustful Frank, who later flags him down and presents him with an array of fitness "birthday" presents, revelling in his success. (from left to right) Columbia, Dr. Frank N. Furter, Magenta Frank's celebration is interrupted when Eddie, an ex-delivery boy and former lover to both Frank and Columbia, emerges from the freezer where he was stored after half of his brain was used to make Rocky. He describes his past life and explains his current situation to the Transylvanians, as well as engaging in a romantic reunion with Columbia, stealing Frank's spotlight. Jealous and enraged, Frank chases Eddie back into the freezer and murders him with a pick axe.

He then tries to brighten the shocked conventionists' moods by unveiling a bridal suite built for him and Rocky. A wedding procession ushers the two inside, where they sleep together. Later, Frank enters Brad and Janet's separate rooms, disguised as the other, and seduces them both into sex. While sleeping with Brad, he is informed by Riff Raff on a television monitor that Rocky has escaped and Janet is loose in the castle (though he and Magenta chased Rocky away purposely out of spite for Frank). Frank heads downstairs to the laboratory with Brad and Riff Raff, mercilessly beating the butler for losing sight of Rocky. He commands him to search for him on the monitor, and Riff Raff instead discovers that Dr. Scott is approaching the grounds. Brad recognizes him and Frank accuses him of purposely coming to the castle in an attempt to expose him and the others to the government as aliens, which Brad denies. Frank tells Riff Raff to bring Dr. Scott to him, and informs the rival scientist that his plans have failed. Dr. Scott also denies Frank's accusations, stating that he has no idea why Brad is at the castle, and his reason for coming here is to find Eddie, his nephew.

Frank is upset and irritated by this, later discovering a half-nude Janet and Rocky in the birth tank in which his creation was made, where the two have been sleeping together. Dr. Frank N. Furter There is a shocked reunion of all five people before Frank threatens Rocky's life for sleeping with someone else. Magenta enters the room unexpectedly and announces that dinner is ready to be served. Frank spitefully tells Janet that for dinner, "formal dress is to be optional," before storming off. During dinner, Dr. Scott brings up Eddie, and Frank makes a subtle mention about how they are currently eating his remains, causing Columbia to flee the room in tears. Dr. Scott gives a brief speech about his nephew's wild lifestyle, and reads a note sent to him after half of his brain was removed, asking him to come and retrieve him before he is killed. Afterwards, Frank pulls back a table cloth to reveal Eddie's remains, causing Janet to scream and run into Rocky's arms. Jealous, Frank chases her throughout the castle, taunting her by saying that Rocky could never value her over himself in bed, as he is a great lover and she is a boring partner. Brad and Dr.

Scott follow the two in the elevator, where Frank leads them all to the laboratory and commands Magenta to use a machine to turn them all into naked statues. Columbia enters with Rocky and scolds Frank for using people for his own sexual pleasure, stating how she was in love with him before he left her for Eddie, and later Rocky. Frank ignores her and has her turned to stone as well, along with Rocky. He contemplates with his servants whether or not it was a good idea to split Eddie's brain for Rocky, as his creature slept with someone else, the same way Eddie had with Columbia. Irritated, Magenta demands to know when they will return to Transylvania, and Frank informs her that she and her brother have been loyal servants, offering her a reward for her faithfulness through sex. She denies him, and annoyed, Frank says that she will receive nothing and commands she and Riff Raff to prepare the statues for his "floor show." The five stone figures are dressed in drag and taken to a theater in the castle, where Frank flips a switch - unfreezing each of them and controlling their movements, forcing them to perform a cabaret show before they partake in an orgy.

Each one contemplates how Frank's lust has affected their lives. Later, Frank appears in full drag and the orgy begins, only to be interrupted by Riff Raff and Magenta - dressed in their alien attire. Riff Raff informs Frank that he has completely lost sight of the mission they originally had when coming to this planet, telling him that he is the new commander and that they will return to Transylvania immediately. Frank stops him and touchingly speaks of how their trip home is long overdue, and he is ready to return, in an attempt to get back in their good graces. Riff Raff and Magenta do not fall for his trickery, and Riff Raff informs him that Frank will not be returning with them - he has to be killed in order to protect society. Just as Riff Raff is about to murder Frank with a laser, Columbia screams, startling him, and is killed first. Frank tries to flee from Riff Raff, but he is hit and murdered with the laser. In a fit of grief, Rocky rushes to his creator's side and tries to escape the Transylvanians with the body, but he too is ultimately killed. Riff Raff then informs Brad, Dr.

Scott and Janet that they should leave the castle at once, as it about to be beamed back up to their home planet. The three obey his command, and Riff Raff and Magenta speak of their joy in returning to Transsexual. As the house is taking off, Brad and Janet describe how their lives have been forever marred by the events at Frank's castle. Notes Many follow-ups for 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' were developed but never produced, one of them called 'Revenge of the Old Queen.' It follows the preceding events of 'Rocky Horror' on Transsexual, where it is revealed that Frank was the Prince of Transylvania. It is also hinted in the script that he shared his first, sexual relationship with his own mother, the Queen. The script can be found free online for reading.

'Rocky Horror Picture Show' Remake Casts Magenta: Christina Milian to Do "Time Warp" : MStarsNews 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' Remake Casts Magenta: Christina Milian to Do "Time Warp" By Victoria Guerra | Feb 04, 2016 09:44 AM EST Get the Most Popular Mstars News (Photo : Frazer Harrison/Getty ) Actress Christina Milian attends the People's Choice Awards 2016 at Microsoft Theater Fox has just cast one of its own TV stars to co-star in their upcoming TV remake of cult classic musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Christina Milian, currently co-starring in Grandfathered alongside John Stamos, will be taking the role of Magenta, and she'll be joining in the rest of the Transylvanians to do the "Time Warp" again! According to Deadline , Milian has been officially cast in the role made famous by Patricia Quinn in the film. In the 1975 classic, Quinn also provided the lips for the opening sequence in "Science Fiction/Double Feature," but it's unclear whether Milian will be doing the same.

In the story, Magenta is Riff Raff's sister and the housemaid of Frank-N-Furter's castle as well as one of the Transylvanians visiting Earth. Along with her brother, she wrecks havoc in the house after Brad and Janet arrive, releasing the dogs on Rocky and, ultimately, going back home with Riff Raff. Advertisement After Annaleigh Ashford was hired to play groupie Columbia, Milian's casting marks the second-to-last of the main cast of the film, with only one character left to cast: Dr. Everett Scott. The other older character, the Narrator/Criminologist, will be played by original star Tim Curry, so could we hope Barry Bostwick, the movie's Brad Majors, to play the remaining role? As Entertainment Weekly reports that so far the remaining cast for the remake is Laverne Cox as Frank-N-Furter, Reeve Carney as Riff Raff, Ryan McCartan as Brad, Victoria Justice as Janet, Adam Lambert as Eddie and Staz Nair as Rocky. Shooting for the project will begin next March and the film is set to premiere on Fox sometime in the fall, though there are no official dates as of yet.

The point of the remake is still unclear at this point. Originally, it was thought it'd be a celebration of the film's 40th anniversary, but since that happened last year, it seems implausible. However, so far it appears as though the made-for-TV remake is being planned as something of a homage, particularly considering Curry's casting. © 2017 Mstars News, All rights reserved.

It tells the story of Brad and Janet, who have just got engaged and go to Dr Everett Scott to tell him the good news. On their way, their car breaks down. Itï¿½s the night and itï¿½s raining hard. The couple finds shelter in a castle inhabited by strange characters, and more particularly by Dr Frank N Furter, a ï¿½Transvestite from Transylvaniaï¿½.

They also meet a hunchbacked butler, nymphomaniac domestic, a made up Tarzan, a frozen rocker and many moreï¿½ What does RHPS mean? RHPS are the initials for Rocky Horror Picture Show . These initials are commonly used in English to refer to the movie. In France, we usually use ï¿½Le Rockyï¿½ (ï¿½The Rockyï¿½) What does RHS mean? These are the initials for Rocky Horror Show . It refers to the 1973 musical which inspired the movie. Still today, the musical is played by professional and unprofessional casts in the USA and elsewhere. Who are the characters? There are 10 main characters: Brad and Janet, Frank N Furter, Rocky Horror, Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia, Eddie, Dr Everett Scott and the narrator. There are also a few other characters, for example Ralph Hapschatt and Betty Munroe who get married at the beginning of the movie as well as the 18 Transylvanians who are in Frankï¿½s castle. Who is Chuckie?

Trixie is the name given to the Usherette who sings ï¿½Science Fiction Double Featureï¿½, the opening credit song. Who plays who? Have a look at the Actors bios Whose lips are singing ï¿½Science Fiction Double Featureï¿½? The famous lips (the movieï¿½s symbol!) actually belong to Patricia Quinn (who plays Magenta). Who sings the opening and ending songs (ï¿½Science Fiction Double Featureï¿½ and ï¿½Science Fiction repriseï¿½)? Initially, it was Patricia Quinn who sang these two songs. Rumour has it that just before the film premiere, Richard Oï¿½Brien decided to sing the two songs, so he re-recorded them and it is only during the film premiere that Patricia Quinn discovered this last minute change! But the truth is Pat Quinn got a call well before the release of the film, that the producers wanted Richard O'Brien to sing the opening song, obviously upset that her small part was made even smaller they compromised on her lips and his voice. Whatï¿½s the Floor Show?

It is one the final scenes of the movie which is the highlight of Brad and Janetï¿½s adventures in Frankï¿½s castle. This dance scene shows (in order of appearance) Columbia, Rocky, Brad, then Janet all wearing corsets and garter belts! Is there a sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Yes and no! The movie ï¿½ Shock Treatment ï¿½, shot in 1981, is considered by some as the unofficial sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Indeed, this movie was also written and played by Richard Oï¿½Brien. The story takes place in Denton and it features Brad and Janet, Betty and Ralph Hapshatt as well as Richard Oï¿½Brien , Patricia Quinn , Little Nell and Charles Gray (but in different roles). Apart from that, there are no real connections between the two movies (however, a few Shock Treatment live casts perform in the USA). But be warned, neither Tim Curry , nor Barry Bostwick , Susan Sarrandon or Peter Hinwood are featured in Shock Treatment. Whatï¿½s the story of Shock Treatment?

A few years after the RHPS, Brad and Janet (who are now husband and wife) come back to Denton which has become the setting of a giant TV show controlled by a mysterious character. Unsurprisingly enough, Brad and Janet are selected to take part in the game ï¿½Marriage Mazeï¿½ and once again Brad acts like an ï¿½assholeï¿½ï¿½ So Janet (played by Jessica Harper) is offered the possibility to submit Brad (Cliff DeYoung) to a shock treatment (hence the title!!!). She finally accepts because REALLY Brad is an asshole! Then poor Brad finds himself locked up and in the hands of twisted-minded doctors Cosmo and Nation McKinley (Richard Oï¿½Brien and Patricia Quinn). But in fact, all this was nothing but a trap set up by Farley Flavors, Bradï¿½s long lost twin brother, who wants to seduce Janetï¿½ Where can I find ï¿½Shock Treatmentï¿½? This movie, which was a big flop in cinemas at the time, was released on video in 1985 in the USA only.

Consequently, only the NTSC video (in English, no subtitles) can be found. If you want to get it, the best thing to do is probably to regularly check out the Amazon website because they have second hand copies from time to timeï¿½ or you can try Ebayï¿½ Finally, you may also try to find this rare video in second hand videos shopsï¿½ Is there a REAL sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show? In fact, Richard Oï¿½Brien has written a sequel. This is called ï¿½The Revenge Of The Old Queenï¿½ but it was never shot. The script can be found on the internet but it was never seriously supposed to be shot. The story is about Riff Raff and Magenta coming back to Transylvania and facing the wrath of the Queen who is the mother of the late Frank N Furter. The show Why is there a live cast? Because The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a movie which exists only through and for this kind of interaction between the film and the people! When it was released in 1975, it was a commercial failure and it was slated by the critics.

It could only be destined to oblivionï¿½ But an unexpected event occurred: some audience members came back every week with props to mimic the characters and started to comment upon the movie. Very soon, some started to dress up as their favourite characters. Taking an active part in the showing, they were no longer passive audience members. Since then, the movie has become the backdrop for this interactive happening which turned The Rocky Horror Picture Show into a cult movie. Is it possible to see the movie with no live cast in France? No, the movie is shown only in Paris at the Studio Galande which owns the rights and the only reel in France. So the only other possibility is to watch the DVD or the videoï¿½ If I havenï¿½t seen the movie, will I understand the story? Not too sure about that... even though the story is actually quite simple. So you'd probably better watch the movie before, not only to understand the story but also to understand all the call-backs and allusions that are done by the live cast. Because the story is actually just a pretext (as modest as it is minimal) for a unique interactive show. And this is exactly what made the RHPS so famous.

This is also the reason why it is still shown at cinemas, almost 30 years after its first release. Besides, the special charm of the movie lies in the fact that the audience is no longer passive. Indeed, the show is more in the cinema room than on the screen. If you wish to watch the movie quietly, you can always rent the video. If you wish to live the movie, come and experience the live cast performance. What does AP mean? These are the initials for ï¿½Audience Participationï¿½. It refers to all the kinds of possible interactions between the movie and the people in the cinema room during a showing of the RHPS. It can consist in call backs or in throwing rice and waterï¿½ What do I need to bring to take part? The basic stuff are of course water and rice! But there are also many other props you may needï¿½ Have a look at the Props You Need ï¿½ Does the live cast performance change from one week to the other? Yes and no! Of course the movie remains the same as it was more than 25 years ago. As for the show, it always evolves. We constantly use our creative minds.

Besides, we regularly organise theme nights or special shows for particular occasions. What is the difference between the show in the USA and the show in France? In the USA, the movie is much more famous than in France and it is a cult classic. There are many live casts throughout the country. However, these casts just rigorously mimic whatï¿½s happening on screen with screen accurate costumes and props. And the audience members do the call backs. In France, most of our audience members do not do the call backs. The Sweet Transvestites have decided, from day one, to have screen accurate costumes and props and to move in synch with the movie. This is what connects us to what is done in the USA. Nevertheless, because we want our audience to enjoy the movie to the full, we, the cast members, also do the call backs (some are in English and some are in French). Consequently, a few call backs exist only in France. Thus, the main difference lies in the intervention of the live cast members but also in the call backs themselves. Why do you do that? Well, we are all big fans of the movie.

It is a great pleasure to watch the movie and to watch the show, but we all felt at some point that it was time for us to join a live cast and to be involved in it. Doing a great quality show and keeping the RHPS spirit and tradition alive are our main motivations. Do you get any money from that? No, not at all. Just like any other live cast that has performed or that performs in France or anywhere else, we are all voluntary. However, we get paid to perform for private screenings (other than our Saturday regular performances at the Studio Galande) Where do you buy your costumes and your props? Concerning the costumes, except for some regular clothes for Brad, Eddie or Dr Scott that we found at the flee market or in charity shops, it is Brigitte (our Magenta and the cast director) who makes all our costumes. Concerning the props, it is Christophe (our Riff Raff ) who makes them all. For how long have you been performing? The Sweet Transvestites exist since May 2001. The Cast History will give you further detailsï¿½ Is it possible to join The Sweet Transvestites?

After the song it shows Brad Majors and Janet Weiss both at a wedding for their friends and when everyone is cleared out Brad proposes to Janet.

Through song ("Dammit Janet"). She, of course, says yes. Only hours later the newly engaged couple of Brad and Janet are stuck in a thunder storm while driving down a distant country road. While they are driving down the road they are passed by several people dressed in leather riding on motercycles pass them going the oppisite way they are going. They than get a flat tire at the end of the road were Brad remembers a castle that they had past a mile behind and tells Janet to stay in the car while he goes to the castle to see if they have a phone he could use. But Janet comes with him. After getting back to the castle they go through a gate that has a message- "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!"- on it, but they go in anyway. Approaching the castle they see that all the lights are on and the windows are showing the many lights inside. Brad and Janet are so happy that they sing (with a small verse by Riff-Raff) a song ("Over at Frankenstein`s Place").

They are greeted at the door by the butler Riff-Raff and also meet the maid his sister Magenta who show them the rest of their kind (called the Transylvanians) and they all sing the show's must popular song ("Time Warp"). At the end they try to back away from the Transylvanians but they are stopped by the sudden appearance of Frank N Furter. He comes down from an elevator and sings a song ("Sweet Transvestite") and then tells Brad and Janet that they are invited to his labrotory to see him finish his creation. After being undressed and redressed by Magenta and Riff-Raff, Brad and Janet are taken up to the lab. There they see Frank in a green rubbed lab coat with pink glooves and gives the spark of life to his creation Rocky Horror. They both give a song ("I Can Make You A Man") and then as Rocky is about to be taken by Frank one of the doors that lead off from the laboratory burst open. Eddie, an ex-delivery boy, comes out of a frozen bunker and it turns out he was Frank`s former play toy before he had started to make Rocky; and that Eddie was a partial brain donor for Rocky.

Coming out on an motorcycle he jumps out and sings another song ("Hot Patootie-Bless My Soul") that Rocky sings along to. Fran N Furter in a jealous rage runs into the ice bunker and tear an ice pick from the wall and intterupts the song by chasing Eddie into the bunker and kills him off-screen. To gain back Rocky Frank sing a reprise song to the one he and Rocky sang earlier ("I Can Make You A Man (Reprise)"). They than go off into a bridal suite and Brad and Janet are kept in seperate rooms. Later during the night Frank goes to Janet's room disguised as Brad and has sex with her, promising not to tell Brad. Afterwards, during the night, Frank goes to Brad disquised as Janet and has sex with him, too. Riff-Raff and Magenta are up stairs in the lab where Rocky is sleeping in his birth tank but when they try to have intercourse Rocky wakes up, so using a candle flame (very Frankenstein Monster like) to scare Rocky off. After they're done Riff-Raff sees on a television monitor that Rocky was outside the castle and unleashes the dogs on him.

But all in vain because he vanishes off the monitor after Riff-Raff goes and tells Frank about the missing creation. Janet meanwhile is searching for Brad and sees him with Frank on the television monitor and starts to cry, but then she finds Rocky hiding in his birth tank, injured by the chasing dogs. While tending his wounds Janet eventually has sexual intercourse with Rocky in the birth tank and starts to sing ("Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me") while Columbia and Magentia watch from their room on their television moniter. Rocky and Janet are interrupted by Brad, Frank, and Riff-Raff, who Frank is torturing for the loss of Rocky with a whip. Then Riff-Raff looks up at the televison monitor and sees that there is a stranger at the door who Brad reconizes as Dr. Evert Scott, a teacher he used to have. When Dr. Scott is in the Zen Room Frank uses a magnet to pull Scott into the room (he is in a wheel chair) and, after passing through the entire castle, Dr. Scott flies into the room. That is also when Frank hears a cry from the birth-tank. He lifts up a blanket and discoveries Janet and Rocky together, much to his rage.

Frank N Furter is intterupted by Magentia who says that 'dinner is ready' and Frank, annoyed, says that formal dress will not be needed and storms out. They go to dinner, celebrating Rocky`s birthday. They all ironically wear party hats, and Evert Scott tells them that he is there with a purpose. Frank says that Scott is researching UFO`s and aliens for the government, but Dr. Scott says that he is actually looking for his nephew, Eddie. Columbia realizes what the birthday dinner was all about and runs out screaming to the next room. Scott sings with help of Janet, Riff-Raff, Frank, and Magenta a song explaining that Eddie had always been a 'no-good kid' ("Eddie"). Now very angered, Frank N Furter rips off the table cloth and shows the guest that the dinner they had been eating was from Eddie's corpse and they had actually been dining on top of it. Horrified, Janet leaps into Rocky`s arms and Frank throws off his birthday hat and slaps Janet, then chases her singing ("Wise Up, Janet Weiss!") into the lab tailed by everyone.

Frank captures Brad, Janet, Rocky, Scott, and Columbia (after stating that she loved him) by turning them to stone; and Frank N Furter says simply that it was getting to hard to have fun. Magentia and Riff-Raff are praised by Frank N Furter for being his most loyal servants and to prepare for the "Floor Show". So now, everyone but Riff-Raff and Magenta are dressed in fish nets and leather and start to sing a three part called "Rose Tint My World" ("Floor Show") ("Fanfare/Don`t Dream It") and ("Wild and Untamed Thing"). But then, after a swiming scene in a pool hidden under a fake radio tower that is covered by a stage curtain as the song closes, Riff-Raff and Magenta some in dressed in space suit-type clothes and they sing that they were taking Frank N Furter prisoner and returning to their homeplanet of Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania.

At first, when Riff-Raff points an antimatter gun at Frank, he doubts it works and sings a song to explain what he had been doing ("I`m Going Home"), but they say that when they said they were going back they meant only themselves and they were going to kill Frank N Furter, who rises to his full height. Then Columbia screams and Riff-Raff swirls around and kills her with a single blast; Frank, now sure that the gun works, he tries to climb up the stage curtain. But a single blast kills him and Frank tears the stage curtain off as his body falls to the floor, and Rocky goes to his master and carries the corpse with him up the fake radio tower. After several hits with the antimatter gun, Rocky dies and the fake radio tower becomes electric, and, had Rocky been alive, eletrocutes his body. The tower breaks and the dead bodies topple backwards into the swimming pool. Riff-Raff and Magenta let Brad, Janet, and Scott go as they prepare to Time Warp back to their home planet and the humans all escape as they set off in the castle itself.

Sequels Main article: Shock Treatment Following the unexpected and overwhelming success of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on the midnight circuit, Richard O'Brien approached producer Michael White with the idea of making a sequel. In 1978, he began work on a script titled Rocky Horror Shows His Heels, which found Frank and Rocky resurrected, Brad and Dr. Scott turned gay, and Janet on the verge of giving birth to Frank's baby. Director Jim Sharman was resistant to revisit the material and Tim Curry had no desire to reprise the role of Frank, but O'Brien had put some work into the songs, so he decided to retain them and simply revise the story. The new script was titled The Brad and Janet Show. This version is closer to what became Shock Treatment and was planned to be produced, but the filmmakers were plagued with a variety of problems. Dr. Scott had been included in the script, but Jonathan Adams was not interested in reprising his role. Tim Curry had committed to portray Farley Flavors, but when he discovered Barry Bostwick was unavailable and he'd have to play the dual roles of Farley and Brad, Curry backed out too, fearing he couldn't pull off a convincing American accent.

The filmmakers intended to shoot on location in Denton, Texas, but production screeched to a halt in 1980 when the Screen Actors Guild went on strike. With only a small window when cast and crew were available, the filmmakers had to get creative. Television had been a heavy motif in the script, so production designer Brian Thompson came up with the notion to rework the story and set it in a giant TV studio utilizing a film studio in England which shaved a million dollars from the budget and gave them the luxury of working in a controlled environment. The script endured a final draft in which all of the locations were changed to television shows, and the role of Dr. Scott morphed into game show host Bert Schnick. "I was frightened the strike was going to finish too soon and we’d have to go back to our original conception," commented O'Brien.
