The Rocky Horror Picture Show Unauthorized Quiz Book by Killian H. Gore & Phoenix Hinkley
back to the Printed Items page    back to the Cellar

I found this little book being sold on Amazon and bought a few copies. Written by Killian H. Gore & Phoenix Hinkley, who from their 'also by' section in the book have written dozens of these quizzes from various cult films and shows. It's billed as 'Unauthorized' as this is not endorsed by Disney/Fox/RHCo. The book is divided into nine sections. RHPS Questions, RHPS Answers, Double Difficult RHPS Questions, Double Difficult RHPS Answers, Shock Treatment Questions, Shock Treatment Answers, The Rocky Horror Picture Show Filming Locations, A Strange Journey (short story by the authors) and a section called Transylvanian Guests which is a list of various fans from around the world including a few from the UK. I'm really not sure what this last section is for as it seems rather random on who it selected, if anyone can enlighten me further please let me know. The 200 questions are a mixture of questions about the actual movie(s) mixed in with those that have a connection to the show, actors, or filming locations. There's even a question in there asking who played Frank in the 2023 Australian run of the show, so very topical (at time of writing). I'm honoured to say the urban legend I seem to have accidently created in our original Virgin's Guide about not wearing stripped sweatshirts also makes it onto page 65 and the answers explain more about how this came about. There is also a question or two referencing the current UK stage show. I've not spotted an answer I disagree with, which is nice to see as so many online quizzes seem to conflate the show with the movie, or misquote answers. It's nice to see the authors have take their time to ensure the questions are varied and more important the answers are correct. After the questions there is a section showing the filming locations of The Rocky Horror Picture Show filming locations. This consists of a series of black and white screen grabs from a 2022 YouTube video by 'The Magic Geekdom'. A nice addition to the book. There is also a short story by the authors called 'A Strange Journey'. I leave that for you to read. I bought my copies from Amazon, at around £8.99 a copy. It's a nice addition to the collection and there are a good few questions in there that you would need to be quite a fan to answer. Overall, recommended.
