Why is rocky horror controversial




















For him it was existential. Where Disney removed other cult Fox titles, such as Fight Club, from fan circulation, public screenings of Rocky Horror have been allowed to continue, and home-made merchandise has continued to flourish within reason.

Cult Films. Share using Email. By Larushka Ivan-Zadeh 19th June A flop when it was released in , The Rocky Horror Picture Show has since gained a fervent global fan following. Larushka Ivan-Zadeh explores its unique appeal. More than one person was dropped. So what is to be done about this imperfect but badly needed oasis?

I spoke to a number of cast members who believe that Rocky Horror is too important to give up on. One of the most visible faces of the movement for a safer Rocky Horror Picture Show is New York City cast member Jackson Torii Bart, age 23, who started attending shadowcast performances of the Rocky Horror as a teenager. For Cassia who asked that her last name be omitted , a member of the RKO Army cast alongside Jackson, that work became unavoidable when her cast hosted the Rocky Horror convention.

As a longtime advocate for survivors, Cassia volunteered to be the point person for dealing with any inappropriate or predatory behavior at the convention. Although Jackson and Cassia say they have faced backlash — from name-calling to threats of legal action — for turning a spotlight on predators who use Rocky Horror as a hunting ground, they have also been met with gratitude and support from many in the community.

As we continue to move forward, we hope to work on amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities in the area.
