‘Rocky Horror’ icon dead at 71: Sal Piro was role-playing super fan
Story by Erin Keller • 7h agoSal Piro, a “Rocky Horror Picture Show” role-paying super fan and subject of an upcoming biopic, has died. He was 71.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show Fan Club, which Piro founded in 1977, announced his death in a tweet on Sunday. They did not give a cause.
“With profound sorrow we pass on the news that Sal Piro, founder and long time president of The Rocky Horror Picture Show Fan Club, has passed away,” the club’s statement read. “Sal was the defacto face of Rocky Horror fandom for decades. He will be sorely missed.”
Piro served as the club’s president until his death. As an early fan of the 1975 film, Piro joined many other young fans in shouting funny comments during the movie’s midnight screenings in New York City, which became a regular occurrence at the former Waverly Theater — now the IFC Center — in Greenwich Village.
He helped develop a floor show for audience members to play out the cult classic beneath the big screen.
“We all lived for Friday and Saturday nights,” Piro wrote in his 1990 memoir, “Creatures of the Night: The Rocky Horror Picture Show Experience.”
