The Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack (1975)
Released in 1975, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” was more than just a movie; it was a cultural phenomenon, a celebration of freedom, expression, and, of course, rock ‘n’ roll. And central to this film’s identity? Its iconic soundtrack.
Richard O’Brien wasn’t just the composer; he was also the original creator of “The Rocky Horror Show” stage play, from which the film was adapted. And, fun fact, he played the role of Riff Raff in both the stage and film versions.
O’Brien’s music for “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is a cocktail of rock, pop, and musical theater. He masterfully blended these genres to create songs that were catchy and perfectly in tune with the film’s quirky, rebellious spirit.
