A new book highlighting rarely-seen images of the film set shows how the cult-classic came to life
Rocky Horror is turning 50 — and with that anniversary comes some rarely-seen images behind the scenes of the production.
Photographer Mick Rock , known for his work with '70s icons like David Bowie, Queen, Blondie and more, was the only photographer allowed on the set of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Director Jim Sharman and writer Richard O’Brien offered the photographer unrestrained access to the set, where he captured a collection of photos showing how the production came together.
