When Rocky Horror Picture Show was released, no one could have suspected that it would become an iconic cult film favorite, the longest running movie in history. This Halloween favorite was written as a spoof of the B-movies of the 1930s through 1960s. The song at the beginning of the film, Science Fiction/Double Feature, mentions 11 movies in the lyrics. Place one of the 8 movies available in our district on hold for curbside pickup or to pick up at select branches during browsing hours.
Michael Rennie was ill The Day the Earth Stood Still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear

Then at a deadly pace It Came from Outer Space
And this is how the message ran
Science fiction (ooooh) double feature
Doctor X (ooooh) will build a creature
See androids fighting
Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Oh oh oh oh
I knew Leo G. Carrol was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot when I saw Janette Scott
Fight a triffid that spits poison and kills (The Day of the Triffids)
Dana Andrews said Prunes gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills (Curse of the Demon)
But When Worlds Collide said George Pal to his bride
'I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills'
Like a
Science fiction (ooooh) double feature
Doctor X (ooooh) will build a creature
See androids fighting (ooooh)
Oh oh oh oh
At the late night double feature picture show
I want to go oh oh
To the late night double feature picture show
By R.K.O oh oh
To the late night double feature picture show
In the back row oh oh
To the late night double feature show
