Sal Piro is an American Rocky Horror fan and the President of The Rocky Horror Picture Show Official Fan Club. Piro began attending screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in early 1977, at the Waverly Theater. Piro, along with other early enthusiasts, started the fan club in 1977, and later took it national after he and his group relocate to the 8th Street Playhouse. Along with being the Master of Ceremonies at his theater, Sal became the voice of the Rocky Horror community, eventually acknowledged by both producer Lou Adler and 20th Century Fox. Sal became a staple at most Rocky Horror Conventions and special events, continuing in his leadership role to this day.
