Rocky Horror Picture Show opening titles

Here are two alternative opening title sequences for the Rocky Horror Picture Show.


Allegedly this one is

"The original idea by Richard O'Brien for "Science Fiction/Double Feature" for The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The test audience reaction was negative and it was changed to feature the lips of Patricia Quinn lip-syncing to the song."

I am just about to start reading "Rocky Horror - From concept to cult", maybe the answer as to whether this claim is true will be in there.



This is a tribute to the album artwork.

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show vinyl LP sleeve on the Ode album has always been a favorite of mine. It was designed by John Pasche of Gull Graphics and has a very different style from other Rocky Horror merchandise. Before I was old enough to see the film during its midnight circuit, I would listen to the soundtrack and examine the sleeve artwork and wonder what it was like to see the movie. This is a tribute to the Ode record. "
