Posted: 12/3/10 at 12:27pmI just got cast in Rocky Horror (it looks like I'm a Transylvanian), and since it's supposed to spoof all the B sci-fi/horror movies, I was wondering if people could recommend some to watch. Thanks!

Perhaps even a basic knowledge of Rocky Horror lyrics would help you out with your own question...

How about the original FRANKENSTEIN movie with Boris Karloff?

I think you should watch the Ed Wood movies, but not for Rocky Horror, really. It's a different subset of the genre. I'm with x and joe. Stick to the canon. Well, maybe the original Frankenstein, too, for the parallel Rocky's birth/lab scene.
Enjoy! It's a fun show to work on.

In the Broadway version on RH, the Transylvanians were known as "Phantoms", gertie. Are you doing that version, because man, did those guys gave fun. Amongst the people who played phantoms: Diedre Goodwin, Matthew Morrison, Kevin Cahoon, and the dear late James Stoval.
If you have any questions about the Bway version, pm me -but lemme get you started on the 1931 Frankenstein:
Rocky, errr, Frankenstein's monster comes to life.

ghostlight2 I guess I should've said "phantoms". I don't know all the details because we don't start rehearsals until January, but I can't wait!!!!!
And yes I am praying that our Rocky looks like Matthew Morrison, or is Matthew Morrison
