Description:

A & B Creations, Inc. The Rocky Horror Picture Show was released at a time where merchandising was rare for feature films. There were some licensed products, but usually the trend was associated with trading cards, toys and lunch boxes for kid's television shows like The Monkees and The Partridge Family as well as the occasional popular music acts like The Beatles and Elvis Presley. For the most part, feature films only had tie-in posters and lobby card made exclusively for use in theaters. There was the occasional promotional badge or T-shirt for theaters to pass out to employees and less commonly shared with the audience. Upon occasion there was a tie-in paperback novel or soundtrack album, though it was rare in 1975 for anything else to be developed to purchase. It was almost four years until the first officially licensed items were released: a set of 6 badges, created by A&B Creations in 1979. These were manufactured and released by Alba Cordasco and Betty Rice, two fans of the film who traveled across the country seeing Rocky Horror in various venues, funded by selling self-made pins in 1978. Not long after, a series of products began to become available starting with The Rocky Horror Picture Show Book followed by official trading cards, a 1980 Calendar, and The Official Rocky Horror Picture Show Movie Novel. In 1981, the subject of "official Rocky Horror merchandise" was parodied by Tim Curry and Meat Loaf in Tim And Meat's One-Stop Rocky Horror Shop. Since then, a seemingly endless stream of products and variations of The Rocky Horror Picture Show Original Soundtrack Album have been produced, with no signs of ending.
