El periodista y cronista cultural Popy Blasco se sumerge con toneladas de glitter en el fenomeno Rocky Horror, desentrañando sus multiples capas con contagiosa pasion en un ensayo que combina analisis cinematografico, cronica personal y reflexion historica. A lo largo del libro, nos cuenta el nacimiento de la obra a partir de la imaginacion de Richard O Brien, como fue el paso de los escenarios a la gran pantalla y el proceso por el que, despues de su inicial fracaso en taquilla, se convirtio en un inesperado exito en las sesiones de medianoche, instaurando el concepto de audience participation. Ademas, el autor examina con detalle la banda sonora, marcada por influencias glam y rock y la desbordante estetica camp de un filme repleto de guiños al cine de ciencia ficcion y terror de serie B (y Z). Explora tambien el impacto que ha tenido la pelicula en la contracultura en general y en la comunidad LGTBIQ+ en particular, que la ha abrazado como un espacio de rebeldia y expresion de la identida
