Dedicated to all the great lost and little-heard Halloween songs that get swept under the "Monster Mash" tide every October. Crawl out of that radio man's dungeon and listen!

Antici....pation.
Since this weekend is all about music from horror musicals, and my home Rocky Horror Picture Showshadow cast is playing their first-ever show at The Radford Theatre tonight in Radford, Virginia (just a few miles from where I grew up! where I had my first date!), of course today's song has to come from Rocky. Rocky Horror songs are no stranger to this blog--both "The Time Warp" and "Science Fiction, Double Feature" have been featured in years past--but we've yet to hear the signature song of our handsome queen, Dr. Frank N. Furter. Tim Curry joined the London castof Rocky Horror as Dr. Frank in 1968 and later immortalized that role in the 1975 film. For a long time, he was reluctant to embrace the rabidfandom that has surrounded Rocky over the past 35 years, but in recent years, he's been more accepting, even appearing at the 35th anniversary celebration and doing the Time Warp onstage. Here he is as the sweetest transvestite that ever was, from Transsexual, Transylvaniaaaaa-a-a!
