To my disappointment, I found out that this week's episode is a rerun and a new one will be released the week after (Oh how I want to kick myself and go back to the office!).
Searching the net, I found out that they are doing a Rocky Horror Episode. I was like: What the hell is that?!
Okay, okay, I don't know everything alright!
Cory and Lea with Adam Shankman.
So what I did was have a little search on the plot. and Here it goes:
The story, narrated by a criminologist, tells the tale of newly engaged couple, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, who find themselves lost and with a flat tire on a cold and rainy, late November evening. Seeking a phone with which to call for help at a nearby castle, Brad and Janet discover a group of strange and outlandish people who are holding an Annual Transylvanian Convention. They watch, still wet from the rain, as the Transylvanians, servants, and a tap dancing groupie, dance the "Time Warp", the film's signature song.
They are soon swept into the world of Dr. Frank N. Furter, a bizarre and self-proclaimed "sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania". The ensemble of convention attendees also include servants Riff Raff, his sister Magenta, and a groupie named Columbia.
Frank claims to have discovered the "secret to life itself". In a scene inspired by the classic Frankenstein films, his creation, Rocky Horror, is brought to life. The ensuing celebration is soon interrupted by Eddie, an ex-delivery boy, partial brain donor to Rocky, and Columbia's implied lover, who rides out of a deep freeze on a motorcycle. In a jealous rage, Frank corners him and slaughters him with an ice axe. He then departs with Rocky to a bridal suite off of the laboratory.
Brad and Janet are shown to separate bedrooms, where each is visited and seduced in turn by Frank, posing as the opposite. Janet, upset and emotional, wanders off to look for Brad, whom she discovers is with Frank via a television monitor. She then discovers Rocky, cowering in his birth tank, hiding from Riff Raff, who has been tormenting him. While tending to Rocky's wounds, Janet seduces him, while Magenta and Columbia watch from their bedroom monitor.
After discovering that his creature is missing, Frank, Brad, and Riff Raff return to the lab, where Frank learns that an intruder has entered the building. Dr. Everett Scott, Brad and Janet's old high school science teacher, has come looking for his nephew, Eddie, but Frank suspects Dr. Scott of working for the government investigating UFOs. Upon learning of Brad and Janet's connection to Scott, Frank suspects them of working for him.
Rocky and the guests are served dinner, which they soon realise has been prepared from Eddie's remains. Janet runs screaming into Rocky's arms, and is chased through the halls of the castle by a jealous Frank. Janet, Brad, Dr. Scott, Rocky, and Columbia all meet in Frank's lab, where Frank captures them with the Medusa Transducer, transforming them into living statues. They are then forced to perform a live cabaret floor show.
The performance is interrupted by Riff Raff and Magenta, who stage a coup and announce their plan to return to the planet of Transsexual, in the galaxy of Transylvania. In the process they kill Columbia, Rocky and Frank. They release the humans, Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott and then depart by lifting off in the Castle itself.
Hmmm... A tranny named Frank N. Furter eh?! This should be interesting...
And I heard that Chris Colfer (Kurt) begged to have the role of "Riff Raff" be given to him. Here's how he looks like:
Chord Overstreet (Sam) will play Rocky and says "I'm kind of Naked. Everything but some gold shorts . . and they're skin tight.
I've seen him in one of the teasers wearing just skimpy shorts and asking if he can just wear at least a pair of gold board shorts instead. But I aint gonna post it coz I want you to watch the actual episode.. =D
Can't wait for Glee's take on this Cult Classic.. Happy Halloween Gleeks!
