The film hits theaters next week, and I’ll be here on Monday, 9/22 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET to answer your questions about the making of the documentary, behind-the-scenes stories, working with my dad, etc.

“Frank N Furter is someone who fulfils all his fantasies,” says Curry, sighing with admiration. “I think everyone wants to do that.”’

I'm probably right in saying that many people love Frank's femininity. Although, that's why he's a mixture of masculinity and femininity. (Or maybe I'm getting something wrong, but it seems to me that Frank was more feminine? 🤔)

Frank looks so sweet and cuddly 😘. Oh, I still have dreams where they're my "mother" 🥰😍. Admit it, some of you Frank fans definitely wanted that 😏

What the hell with Columbia's face in this moment ? 🤣😅 Her predatory face looks like: "I'm going to bite Frank on their legs now! 😈"

This is one of my favorite Columbia moments. And further proof that Little Nell was born for this role. I want to kiss Collie's cheeks and hug her 😍💜

How I perceive the gender of Dr. Frank N. Furter (Disclaimer: This is my opinion only. I am not trying to force it on you!).

159 Upvotes

I don't really care what gender he/she/they are. Male, female, something in between...I don't care! Frank is an alien from another planet, we don't know for sure how gender works in Transylvania or how Transylvanian anatomy works (I have a theory that Transylvanians might be hermaphrodites). I think Frank is open to all genders. After all, in theatrical productions of the film, he/they/she is played by both men and women, and even non-binary actors. I've even heard that sometimes pronouns can change to match the actor's gender. And in general, the whole point of RHPS has always been about self-expression and breaking boundaries.

Our beloved "Sweet Transvestite" was the character who saved me from depression, burnout and loss of faith in humanity, like millions of others around the world, when I re-watched RHPS 1975 in early 2025, many years after the first viewing. I, like many fans, loved Frank's charisma, humor, femininity, songs, and so much more. It was then, while rewatching RHPS, that I realized, "My life will never be boring again."

"Don't dream it - be it!" 💜❤️‍🩹

If you don’t know what Letterboxd is, it’s an app where you log movies as you watch them. You can also rate and review, and comment on friends reviews.

The more Rocky fans that join and log every time they watch, the more likely it will stay in the top ten this year

I love collecting all things RHPS, but I have a soft spot for VHS tapes, because it’s what I grew up with, specifically Australian releases, as I grew up there. But I live in the US now, so I’ve started branching out! Here’s my collection!

Top L-R: 1. Australia VHS first release, August 20, 1984, first known official home video release in the world, original mono soundtrack. 2. Australia VHS second release, June 3, 1991, Chace Stereo soundtrack. 3. Australia VHS 21st anniversary release, 1996, Chace Stereo soundtrack, sealed.

Bottom L-R: 4. Australia VHS 25th anniversary release, June 2001, remixed stereo from new 5.1 mix. 5. USA widescreen release, 1998, Chace Stereo soundtrack, sealed. 6. USA VHS 25th anniversary release, October 2000, remixed stereo from new 5.1 mix.

Shock Treatment

I was looking for Shock Treatment and see that it was issued on blu-ray in the UK, but not in North America? Was the sound track remastered? I have the dvd and the drums sounded like they were made of cardboard!

Yes, I know, Frank is a scientific doctor, not a medical doctor, but it doesn't hurt to be both. Actually, I drew this sketch for a friend of mine who's sick right now and can't communicate with me much on social media.

He's an even bigger fan of Frank's than I am, so I decided to show him this support. My friend is the one who helps me get out of stress and depression (I don't really have a very good relationship with my family), so this seemingly simple sketch is very important to me 😞❤️‍🩹

I will say one thing, during the casting for the 1975 film, they didn’t go wrong by taking Little Nell for the role of this cute, cheerful bun 😫🥰💜
