Shock Treatment - Did You Notice:
There is something special about this outtake picture... Look at what she is reading...
It's the Bill Henkin RHPS Book
Janet is playing Space Invaders II. Some say this is symbolizing that
Rocky Horror was Space Invaders I and Shock Treatment would be
Space Invaders II.
The American Gothic and the Transylvanian jacket are both from
The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
What in the hell is Charles Grey doing ? I don't want to know...
Did you ever notice Kurk is bald ?
Did you ever notice the Ayers Rock poster in the background ?
Did you ever notice Francine wants to be called Frankie ?
The Car
The convertable from Shock Treatment is a 1958 Firebird.
All the Presidents Men...
Judge Oliver Wright and the Denton Daily newspaper both speak of "Ike"
(Dwight D. Eisenhower). Cosmo and Nation have the last name of
McKinley. (William Mckinley) In the wardrobe room you can see;
Teddy Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Ronald Reagan. And the
computer mentions Mckinley, Harding, Coolidge, and Fillmore.
Cameo
Sal Piro, president of the RHPS fan club, talks on the phone under the
stairs during the opening song.

13. After Emily wins on the 30-second Quiz, the scene switches to Cosmo's
office where they are watching a replay of Emily winning. If you notice
the dialogue and actions of Emily, they are not the same as the scene we
just finished watching.
18. The Time Magazine on the desk has the lips from the RHPS, and it's
cover reads "Cult Films"
21. Betty claims that she loves "Coldridge Taylor" but the author of the poem is "Taylor Coldridge".
23. In the wardrobe room, notice the American Gothic painting, borrowed
from the set of The RHPS.
27. At the end of Little Black Dress, notice the RHPS lightning bolt
symbol on the wall with "high voltage" written under it.
40. During Looking For Trade, all the arcade games are "Space Invaders,
Part II", a possible reference to the Rocky Horror "sequel".
43. When the cheerleaders shout: "Give us a J, Give us an A" etc... they
end it with "We can't hear you". Then, they repeat the call letters:
"J...N..." (Francine says N by mistake).
44. Notice that the throne Janet sits in is indeed Frank N Furter's
throne, but painted red, and reupholstered with red fabric.
46. The computer Betty looks at reads 4711, the same number tattooed on
Frank N Furter's leg.
47. The newspaper reads on the bottom "U.F.O.'s sighted over Denton" - a
news article recounting the events of Brad and Janet during the RHPS.
