‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ Celebrates 50 Years With New Digital, Blu-ray Releases on Oct. 7

CELEBRATE FIFTY YEARS OF
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

With 4K Film Restoration
Do The Time Warp Again When The Rocky Horror Picture Show Arrives On Digital and on Blu-ray in 4K Ultra HD

This year marks the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the genre–defying cult classic that helped transform midnight cinema and inspired a global phenomenon. First introduced to audiences in 1975, the film quickly became more than just a movie – it sparked a movement.

Based on the musical play by Richard O’Brien – with a screenplay by O’Brien and director Jim Sharman, and produced by Lou Adler and Michael White – The Rocky Horror Picture Show broke the mold with its unforgettable characters, flamboyant costumes, and audacious rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack. Through its legendary late–night screenings, complete with shadow casts, fan costumes, and interactive rituals, the film pioneered a new kind of audience participation that redefined the moviegoing experience. Today, with weekly screenings around the world,  The Rocky Horror Picture Show continues to make history as the longest–running theatrical release of all time.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary, a newly restored and remastered version of The
Rocky Horror Picture Show will be unleashed in breathtaking 4K Ultra HD, and crowned
by the debut of a dazzling new anniversary logo. The new 4K Blu-ray arrives in a collectible limited-edition SteelBook, featuring stunning Dolby Vision and Atmos audio for the ultimate viewing experience. A digital version will also be available on platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.

 

 

Overseen by the Walt Disney Studios Restoration team, the 10–month project included
a meticulous digital scan and preservation process that ensures every frame of the cult
classic is presented with unprecedented clarity and vibrancy. The restoration also
features a newly mixed Dolby Atmos audio track, bringing enhanced depth and
dimension to the film’s iconic soundtrack. For purists and longtime fans, the original
mono audio has been fully restored as well – allowing audiences to experience the film
exactly as it was heard when it first premiered five decades ago.

Film Synopsis
Fasten your garter belt and relive the time–warping, gender–bending cult classic! When
a newly engaged couple’s (Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon) car breaks down on a
rainy night, they wind up in the creepy castle of Dr. Frank–N–Furter (Tim Curry). There,
they have an adventure that will thrill you, chill you and fulfill you like never before!
