The Rocky Horror Picture Show Scene 3 Summary

  • A creepily shiny-faced man looks at a slide of the wedding.
  • One of the dour Quakers is circled in the slide.
  • The odd old man says he wants to take us on a "strange journey."
  • He has a scrapbook titled "The Denton Affair" and tells us that Brad and Janet, whose pictures are in the scrapbook, left the church and ended up with a flat tire.
  • If they'd had AAA, none of the following would have ever happened.
  • We cut to Brad and Janet driving in the rain and see the blowout happen.
  • "Dammit!" cries Brad, going from the last scene's "Dammit, Janet" to "dammit why didn't we get a spare tire?"
  • They decide to walk to a nearby creepy castle to get help. What could possibly go wrong?
  • The castle gate has a sign posted: "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!" Two exclamation marks, so it must be extra dangerous.
  • Janet, protecting her hair from the fierce downpour with the most water-resistant piece of newspaper we've ever seen (is that news printed on plastic?) sings about a light being on over at the Frankenstein place.
  • A bald man sings with them from a window high up in the castle tower. That's a comforting sight.
