TOP STORY: The annual Halloween showing of RHPS on VH-1 will feature interviews with Sal Piro and the New York cast members at a Rocky Horror party at Planet Hallywood... Contrary to what was previously reported, the RHPS viseo will be put on moratorium in the stores and the new video release (which will include "Superheroes", "Once in a While" and other footage from the laser disc) can be expected sometime next year...

Richard O'Brien is making a new film with Drew Barrymore and Angelica Houston.  This film (still untitled) is an updating of the Cinderella story.   Richard plays a shady character named "Pierre Le Peu."

After many delays and title changes, Richard O' Brien's movie "Dark City" will be released in the US in Jan.

Richard O'Brien has recorded tracks for a new CD.  It will be called "5 Card Tarot" and will include 6 songs from his show "Disgracefully Yours."  When it is released, it will be available though the fan club.

Tim Curry has recorded the voice of Scrooge in a new animated version of "A Christmas Carol."

The Fan Club will keep you updated on any plans for events and products for next year's 25th Anniversary (Silver Jubilee) of the play in England.

For information on the planned RHPS convention in  NYC in April, send a S.A.S.E. to Crazed Imaginations, 216 Filbert St., Roselle Park, NJ, 07204.

Tim Curry will be starring in his own sitcom this fall on ABC.   The name of the show is "Over the Top" and it co-stars Tim's good friend Annie Potts.  "Over the Top" will air Tuesday Nights at 8:30 p.m.

Richard O' Brien, Meatloaf and Barry Humphries (of "Shock Treatment") are filming roles in the new Spice Girls movie being made in England.

There will be a new boxed set of CDs ("Soundtrack", "Roxy", "Audience Participation" and "Sing It") with an updated booklet. Look for this in the fall.

For those Fans on-line, we hope you enjoy our official web site. We will be updating it each month with new cast and fan profiles. (To fully appreciate the site you should have Netscape.) .... As the Fan Club grows with the advancement of modern technology, we will be starting an E-mailing List to automatically send out the "New News" on-line. Please E-mail me at: sal@interport.net. Do not E-mail me from a temporary address -- this would be useless. You can also use this to send any problems with theaters and prints, etc. But do not expect me to answer all questions. (I am one person.) .... Anyone who is not on-line can still get the "News" the traditional way.
