Thank you so much for posting this. Tim Curry was a tour de force in his first movie.

Sad

Amazing film, Rick Mayall too!

I never realized how much Sal Piro sounds like Richard Simmons.

Thank you for uploading this! A piece of rocky horror history in shock treatment.

It doesn't equal Rocky Horror...it surpasses it.

There's no better movie turned to theatrical show than Rocky Horror show it gets your blood pumping yey❤❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉

Its over 50 years now and it is still alive!

I saw it live back in October, this is my favorite movie and has been my whole life

19:44 that’s the fast anyone has ever said “Into that little black dress” lol oh the sequel.. far from an equal. Lightning rarely if ever strikes in the same place twice

seeing this on my recommendations made me so happy omg

one of my fav movies ever, been involved with shadow casts and seen it well over 300 times probably in theater... tbh i stopped counting haha, even got to play crim. made a lot of good friends through RHPS #ZinTravels

Cosplay before it was a thing.

Rocky Horror is for your late late teens Shock Treatment is for your mid 20's.

My story for Rocky Horror Picture Show : I met a female at a party back in the 80's. We started dating. She has been to the movie theater to see the flick before, so she wasn't a " virgin ". She knew everything to expect. I haven't, but she filled me in on the situation. Had a marvelous time, & we had planned to go again soon. We were even going to dress up like Riff Raff & Magenta the next time. I thought to myself that I wouldn't want to be the folks who had to clean up afterwards. Anyway, she started dating someone else the following week without telling me ( had to find out the difficult way ). Since then, I bought the album & have seen it on TV. Wasn't the same as seeing it at the movie theater, though. Magenta sure was my favorite. I could even sing like Riff Raff. Man, I sure do miss the good ol'days. ☺️. P.S. Someone should upload R.H.P.S. on KZbin, if it doesn't interfere with copywriting policies. Shock Treatment is on here.

Loved the part, where doctor Scott crashes through the wall and Brad shouts out...."GREAT SCOTT!!"....then everybody in the audience starts throwing toilet paper up in the air ("Scott". bathroom tissue perhaps?)...LOL!

Cool to see a pre-20th Century Coyote Rik Mayal...he is missed :(... Who could have imagined Rest Home Ricky would wind up the most memorable star out of these new faces?

Never noticed how much Harper resembled Elliot Page.

It seemed to disappoint then, but it's been strangely prescient, hasn't it?

I'll be switched! I saw Shock Treatment it's first night in release! Where'd you find this?

Don't dream it, be it.

Saw it for the first time in 2000, Oahu, Hawaii... Haven't been the same since, thank Frank!

RHPS: 50's meets the 70's ST: 80's meets forever, because our lives are exactly what it predicted over 40 years later. Also it characterizes the entirety of the 80's. Electric, colorful, fake, contained and kitschy even before 80's was those things, considering it must of been conceived before the 80's were around and filmed in 1980. Only thing it was missing was more electric keyboard to the music. I adore both movies for different reasons and entirely different messages. The ending of Shock Treatment is so creepy, but everyone is smiling and happy, insane, but there are some who escape. RHPS had people die, and the survivors singing a sad song about people being destroyed and some insects called the human race. Like, honestly both have such good commentary played in a fun memorable way with banging tunes.

i'm so happy that youtube recommended this for me,you don't understand how much this made me smile!2022 and still a RHPS fan :)

Yesterday preformed in shock treatment as Oliver, next month i'm going to preform as crim, and in June as Columbia! A few months ago I was Dr. Scott as well! I've been following Rocky only since 2019 when I was 14 and going to live shows. I started preforming a few months ago and it's just amazing

Little Nel was gorgeous

shocky and rocky- my favorite escape to absolute PLEASURE! 💘

1978 é o ano em que nasci ....ai, por que não nasci antes para aproveitar tudo isso na época certa???

I am really sad bc rocky horror apparently is not as much of a thing anymore and I’m 12 and just got into it.. looks like so much fun tho! Gonna dress up as frank for halloween:)

4:29 So can we talk about that one person in Darth Vader costume?

I know Barry was so glad to just act in a male role for a change. I love that he's in this. Mainly the reason why I'll watch this film. But I love the atmosphere of this picture. It's everything that I would've been kept from watching and experiencing as a kid in the 80s. I would have gotten in so so much trouble for watching this then. That forbidden aspect is what pulls me in. 😎

First time I saw RH my mom rented it for my sister when we were really young because my sister thought it was a horror movie… she was mortified 😂. The first time I saw the entire show was in College and it is awesome.

I could imagine that living with Susan would not be fun when she's irritable.

I made it to the point where Shock Treatment was highlighted, and that film proves my point. Song about a blender, shower curtain. There might be one song in that soundtrack that's passable, otherwise, none of them come even close to being as good as RHPS

There's one key element in RHPS, that without it, no one would know, nor really care about RHPS. That is the songs. The subject matter alone, in the hands of lesser talent, could've/ WOULD HAVE been absolutely dreadful. If they were bad arrangements, it would religated RHPS to irrelevance, and it would have disappeared a long time ago. I doubt it would have been made into a film. Without those songs which a well scored, intelligent and helped to propell the story. My favorite is ... "I'm Going Home" All of the elements for success were in the right amount, and in the right places. That led to RHPS unbelievable staying power.

this was so cool to see thanks for posting it

I wonder if anyone ever showed up to the theater just to watch the move. Then got up and left and demanded a refund because all those "Virgins" won't stop interrupting the movie.

I remember hitchhiking to the RKO in New Rochelle, NY and singing the soundtrack while my gf and I tried to get a ride. I was 15, it was 1976. I didn't like my mother much but I loved acting out the show for her...or anyone who walked into her apartment. lol Years later, when I was able to show it to her on VHS, she was still a little shocked... 😁 My older sister and I didn't get along but I insisted she come see it (she had a car) and that was the beginning of a great friendship. ❤

We got a premiere showing of Shock Treatment at our theater in Dallas, Texas because we had the longest run of Rocky at the time. I remember we all got comment cards to critique the movie. Everyone I know trashed it. We were seriously disappointed in that movie. I still love the original! 😎

"Shock Treatment", is to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", in the same way that the Meatloaf album "Dead Ringer", is to "Bat Out of Hell", the first a fun filled ride with tragedy, then for the next one, it becomes a dark and more somber abusive type humor. I remember songs about Toasters, a town, and Brad being tortured, while on the Meatloaf side there was his song "I'll Kill You if You Don't Come Back"", which sort of stopped me wanting to listen to the rest of his stuff for a while, until "Bad Attitude" and, "Bat Out of Hell II" albums. I think I've watch "Shock Treatment" about 3 times, hoping it will be better than I remember, but then realizing that I probably won't re-watch it again. Then I forget about it, and try to refresh myself with it, "Oh yeah, that's why i never re-watched it". I still like that type of sci-fi horror humor. My favorite movie is "Transylvania Twist" with its silly songs, visual puns, and nuttiness, I just wish the songs had more to do with the movie events.

Just finished my midnight show! Super super fun show to be a part of

I can’t get into shock treatment 😒. I can’t like it or love it

This movie is so important to me Edit: Aww! They gave away the ending! That's a cardinal sin-you don't spoil it for the virgins!

Most likely going to my first showing sometime in November! we were going to go this month but didnt get tickets soon enough and it sold out- I'm super excited

the origin of the weeaboo

Hard to believe this is still going 40-plus years later. I was lucky enough to see it in NYC at 8th street, with introduction by Sal Piro. I still remember him warning: "We do not do neck-jokes here."

I STILL LAUGH EVERYTIME I HEAR O'BRIEN OR ONE OF THE PRODUCERS CLAIMING SHOCK TREATMENT IS AN "EQUAL" TO THE RHPS. THAT MOVIE WAS SOOO BAD, IT WENT PAST GOOD AND WENT RIGHT BACK TO BAD. AWFUL, IN FACT!! I DECIDED TO WATCH IT A SECOND TIME THINKING I WASN'T IN THE RIGHT MINDSET. NOPE! IT STILL SUCKED!!

Seeing it live for the first time in October. Can’t wait
