In Rocky Horror, costumes take center stage.

Starring Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, and Tim Curry — oh, and Meat Loaf — the 1975 film adaptation of the British rock musical was meant as a parody of the science fiction, horror, and B-movies that marked the late 1940s through the early ’70s.

The story centers around Janet Weiss (Sarandon) and Brad Majors (Bostwick), a clean-cut, newly engaged couple who gets lost in the woods with a flat tire on a cold November night.Rocky Horror Picture Show screen capture Seeking shelter at a nearby castle, they inadvertently interrupt the Annual Transylvanian Convention, a party populated by strange guests, including tap dancing groupie Columbia and two sinister servants, Riff Raff and Magenta.

As the partygoers dance to the Time Warp, Brad and Janet attempt their escape, only to be intercepted by Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Curry). After the party, Frank attempts to introduce his latest creation, Rocky (played by Peter Hinwood), but the celebration is halted when Eddie (Loaf), Columbia’s beau, comes out of deep freeze. Singing, dancing, and pandemonium ensue.
