Welcome to the RHPS FAQ!

Basically, this is the RHPS FAQ v3.6 expanded to WWW format, with a bunch of extras thrown in. The FAQ is still available in ASCII format on the newsgroups alt.cult-movies and alt.cult-movies.rocky-horror, through the links here, or by sending an e-mail request to me at cheese@poetic.com.

I greatly encourage suggestions, comments, changes, or new ideas.
