In The Rocky Horror Picture Show, sweethearts Brad Majors (Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon), stuck with a flat tire during a storm, visit the creepy home of eccentric Dr. Frank N Furter (Tim Curry), a transvestite scientist in search of a phone. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf) and a creepy butler (Richard O’Brien). The film, famed for midnight showings, has been screened regularly since its release, often with audiences in full costume playing out the scenes as they are shown.

The event will also feature original costumes, handwritten song lyrics, scripts and behind-the-scenes photos.

Wizard World Comic Con Philadelphia, June 1–4, will feature Charlie Sheen, Gene Simmons, Guardians of the Galaxy stars Michael Rooker and Sean Gunn, Nichelle Nichols, James Marsters and Bostwick.

Wizard World will also feature live entertainment, parties, gaming, question-and-answer sessions with celebrities and a costume contest.

Kids 10 and under are admitted free with a paid adult.
