Dr. Frank-N-Furter

The Rocky Horror Picture Show | Character

Something Missing?

Frank-N-Furter is a character from theatrical and cinematographic productions of The Rocky Horror Show since 1973 to this day, including the 1975 original film, the 2015 tribute production celebrating 40 years, and the 2016 reimagining film. The character also appears in the non-canon drafts of the never made sequels Rocky Horror Shows His Heels and Rocky Horror: The Second Coming.

He is a mad scientist, bent on creating the perfect life form to serve as his sexual plaything. He seems to be the leader of the Transylvanians on Earth. Frank-N-Furter is mainly concerned with himself and lacks the ability to see the consequences of his behavior. Though he did bring out the sexual creatures in a young, repressed couple, he did this with his own amusement in mind.
