    Oct 25, 2009 - Rocky Horror Picture Show props? #1

    I just went to a showing last night, and it got me wondering if anyone has any RHPS pieces in their collection. I can't think of a lot of found props that could be researched and an identical item bought, but it would be great to see what people have come up with. Does anyone have any screen-used items?
    I'm including costumes in this as well. Last time I heard, Meatloaf has the "BABY" jacket that he wore as Eddy. I was watching a VH1 special a while back about RHPS and they interviewed him. He held up the jacket on camera.
    The laser that Riff Raff uses at the end would be a fun piece to recreate. Apparently, a lot of the props were from Hammer studios. Maybe someone here has recognized them and knows which ones.

    I have a Frankenfurter Corset from the production I was in if anyone is looking for a handmade Man-Corset.
    We did our all Rocky Horror Band "Satanic Mechanics" for one night only.

    holy crap, never noticed Magenta and that dude were wearing garters in those costumes.
    Every year, at the hometown theater I moonlight at as projectionist, we play this show for two evening events. The local college has a Shadow Cast who comes and acts out the show on stage in front of the screen.
    And the people who come are encouraged to "dress as bare as you dare".
    My oh my what the girlies wear...AND the dudes who show up. We've actually had the State Police show up to see why 600 half naked people were on our city block.
    Next year, I thought I should dress up...but I'll be Eddie LOL

    I got my husband to agree to go as Eddie if I do a good job on the costume someday. I'd also like to do an accurate version of Magenta's little oven-mitt number in that pic too.

    I'm with a shadow cast in Easley SC that will be performing Halloween at midnight, I'm Dr. Scott. I'm the only one that can quote all the technobabble right toward the end. We have a Riff laser, it's not bad, but could be better. I'd love to build a screen accurate version.

    "That dude" is Richard O'Brien, who is pretty much the brains of Rocky Horror... he wrote the script, and even sang the theme song.

    O'Brien also appears as the Stranger, Mr. Hand, in "Dark City"

    Anybody thought of doing the Denton Affair book that the Narrator (a criminologist) looks through, with the police reports, sci fi comic cover, pics of Eddie, etc.?

    Does Frankenfurter's mansion count as a prop? I took this a couple months ago when I was over in London. It's a hotel now.

    So cool! Will they let you stand in an upstairs window and be "The incredible, shrinking Riff Raff"?

    I would so steal that statue by the door if it wasn't attached.

    Old thread but I am bringing it back from the dead.

    I just found this. I would love to find the original but I spent years looking for something even close. This was pure luck discovering this online today. There are slight differences I attribute to crude casting as the one in the film looks to be a fibreglass replica.
