Eddie is the motorcycle riding, saxophone playing badboy from Rocky Horror Picture Show. He quite literally crashes into Frank N Furter’s lab, singing “Hot Patootie” to his love interest, Columbia. Eddie is played by Meatloaf, the famous singer whose hits include “Bat Out of Hell” and “Paradise By The Dashboard Light.”

“Say, do any of you guys know how to Madison?” Brad Majors, known as Brad or “a-hole,” is a nerdy all-American guy. He is engaged to Janet Weiss, proclaiming his love for her in the musical number “Dammit Janet.” When his car gets a flat tire, they go to Frank N Furter’s mansion, having no idea what bizarre chaos will ensue. He is portrayed by Barry Bostwick in the 1975 film.

“Toucha-toucha-touch me!” Janet Weiss, also known as Janet or “slut,” starts as a demure, feminine character. She is engaged to Brad Majors. During her time at Frank N Furter’s mansion, she develops feelings for Rocky, the creation. By the end of the film, she admits “her confidence has increased” as a newly promiscuous woman.

Described in the opening credits as “a handyman,” Riff Raff (Richard O’Brien) is a resident of Frank n Furter’s mansion in Rocky Horror Picture Show. A fellow Transylvanian, he acts as a butler, but has something sinister up his sleeve. He is the brother of Magenta, “the domestic” (maid). He introduces and leads the “Time Warp.”

In The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Magenta (Patricia Quinn) is a domestic who is in attendance at the Annual Transylvanian Convention, along with her brother and servant Riff Raff, the host Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and groupie Columbia.

A groupie like no other, Columbia (Nell Campbell) dresses as though she should be leading a circus instead of drooling over Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror Picture Show. If you’re interested in copying her style then colorful sequins are the way to go. When you think you have enough, add more. Then throw on some red lipstick and do your best Time Warp dance.

In Rocky Horror Picture Show, when Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) isn’t wearing hospital scrubs he’s strutting his stuff in fishnets and platform heels. While we can’t promise that imitating his look will transform you into a “Sweet Transvestite from Transexual Transylvanian” we can assure you that nearly everyone will know where you got your inspiration. Dr. Frank-N-Furter has a style that is unmistakable.
