10 Movie Deaths Not Even The Actors Saw Coming

There's no end to the stories of zany onset hijinks from during the creation of Richard O'Brien's seminal sci fi satire musical comedy horror genre mish mash cult oddity The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

From a purportedly pissed off Susan Sarandon genuinely kneeing Tim Curry's groin to her onscreen fiancee accidentally thumping her hand, the shoot was full of bizarre incidents worthy of the film which spawned them, but none were as noteworthy as the unveiling of Eddie's dead body from beneath a tablecloth.

Only Curry, as Frank N Furter, was given any prior warning that the body would be there, meaning the shock, laughter, and even the director's demand that said laughing actor "shut up" are all genuine, unplanned, and featured in the finished film.
