Online Blockchain plans to release a collection of Rocky Horror Show NFTs on OpenSea to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the iconic comedy musical’s debut, starting June 19.
Since its premiere in London in 1973, The Rocky Horror Show has been performed in more than 70 productions around the world. It gained further acclaim when it was adapted into a movie called “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” in 1975, which has since achieved cult status. The film starred Tim Curry as the cross-dressing mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter, with Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick playing a young couple in love, Janet Weiss and Brad Majors, respectively. Peter Hinwood played the titular Rocky.
The first collectible, called the TimeWarp NFT, will be released next Monday at 8 a.m. ET and will feature the classic bloody font logo from the show’s title sequence, according to a press release. It costs 0.1 ETH (about $175 at time of publication).
The collection consists of an additional 49 NFTs that will be released “at random times and prices over a two-week period,” according to the announcement. The last day to grab one is July 3, 2023 at 10am ET.
The release also told customers that anyone who purchases any of the 50 NFTs in the collection will be entitled to a free character pack.
“Holders will each receive a total of 10 single edition NFTs: Frank-N-Furter, Magenta, Riff Raff, Columbia, Janet, Brad, Rocky, Dr. Everett Scott, Eddie and The Narrator. These will be launched on the Polygon network and broadcast to TimeWarp owners,” the release read.
However, this NFT decline is not intended to be a one-off. According to Clem Chambers, CEO of Online Blockchain, it is the first step towards a metaverse with the characters from the play and movie.
“The TimeWarp NFTs represent the first opportunity to be part of the Rocky Horror Show Web3 story,” Chambers said in a statement. “This is the first stage of a very exciting journey and building a Rocky Horror themed metaverse for NFT holders is where the road is leading.”
