SINGAPORE (AP) -- The cult classic "Rocky Horror Picture Show," which premiered in U.S. theaters nearly 30 years ago, will finally make its Singapore debut.
In the movie, a pair of innocent newlyweds stumble upon the secluded home of a homicidal, cross-dressing scientist from outer space and are seduced into wild sex and partying.
Local censors originally had objected to scenes in the 1975 sci-fi horror film, the Straits Times newspaper said Tuesday.
The film, which stars Susan Sarandon, Tim Curry and Barry Bostwick, will be screened at an outdoor Halloween party on November 1, along with several other horror-themed movies, the newspaper said.
Viewers must be over 21, and identification will be checked at the entrance.
Singapore's government, known for its strict social controls, routinely censors films, TV programs and popular songs, and the country has a long list of banned publications.
