The Rocky Horror Picture Show is packed with unforgettable scenes, but some of the best stories happened behind the camera. Take Meat Loaf’s performance as Eddie—he nailed his song “Hot Patootie” perfectly on the first take, surprising everyone who expected mistakes.
Then there’s the iconic moment when Dr. Scott crashes through a wall. That wasn’t planned—the set crew had forgotten to add a door to the lab! Even royalty couldn’t resist the film’s charm. Princess Diana once told Tim Curry that Rocky Horror “finished her education,” leaving him stunned.
Susan Sarandon’s role as Janet almost went much further—the filmmakers wanted her fully nude for the “Touch-A-Touch Me” scene, but she refused. Playboy later pursued her for years, but she never agreed to pose.
And in a bizarre twist, Curry himself was once mistaken for an impostor when he tried to attend a midnight screening in New York. The theater staff didn’t believe it was really him!
