I guess they forgot that there's a sort-of sequel to Rocky Horror already.

I haven’t heard of this what is it?
Shock Treatment.
It's not technically a sequel, but it's Brad and Janet Majors. Richard O'Brien co-wrote it. Little Nell and Patricia Quinn are in it, as well as O'Brien.
It's set in Denton even.
It doesn't follow up on RHPS though. Not in any meaningful way.
It's also not on the same level quality wise. The songs are meh, and all the problems getting it made show. I'm not saying it's not worth watching, it very much is. But you can't go into it expecting something that matches Rocky Horror. It's good in its own way, and if it had been made as its own movie, I think it would have been better.
I watched it last night. Ended up enjoying the music but yeah production was a bit insane.
Most definitely.
I tend to say it's one of those movies you really want to watch once.
Me reactions run from "oh Hell no!" (7-10), to "why bother?" (most of the list), to "it's happening, probably" (7) to "why not?" (2). However, the one I often think about is Cabin in the Woods - a sequel would be pretty much impossible (and, even if you followed their idea you couldn't capture the tone of the original) but I'd be up for a prequel about the organisation, collecting monsters, enacting the rituals, etc.
Y'know what'd be neat is an anthology for Cabin in the Woods that takes place in the international facilities.
Like, the main plot is very American slasher movie, but we see that in the Japan office they have something very different going on. I'd like to see how they parody the tropes in another culture's movies.
Yeah, that's what I'd like to see in a prequel - there's the feel of a lot of breadth and depth to the background that could be mined.
An anthology would be a great idea - invite filmmakers from different countries to riff off their particular themes (Ozploitation, China, Britain, etc - Hell Japan could have a whole anthology to itself).
Did y'all just make an SCP series?
I think about Belko all the time it was really set for a sequel and it didn’t happen :(
I would love to see an apocalypse movie that takes place immediately after Cabin in the Woods ended.
A friend ran a sequel to Cabin in the Woods as a Powered by the Apocalypse game. The premise being that the titan at the end of the movie was not the entity that needed to be appeased, but was just another of the monsters. The resulting cave in killed the Jester, thus fulfilling the sacrifice, but the Virgin was still alive. We played a mercenary team sent in to rescue the Virgin and pull her out, while dealing with all the other monsters that were still in the complex. Great game. Overall the mission was a success, but I was killed by Fornicus, Lord of Bondage and Pain.
Sounds like a bad way to go. Or good, depending on the individual I suppose.
If only they could introduce a cheap narrative gimmick like 'multiverse,' then all sequel plot problems could be solved with a ...
