Early Life

First experience/loss of Rocky Horror virginity

In 1982 a co-worker asked for a ride to meet some friends at a midnight movie in Cleveland. There was no warning, there was no explanation. There was only a line of strangely dressed kids outside the Heights Art Theater.

"I was shocked and amazed and my life has never been the same"

"For decades afterwards, I took great pride in traveling around the United States finding performing floor show casts and learning the local callbacks and loudly, very loudly injecting my own."

In 2015 after hundreds of visits and viewings never dressed as a character, something changed..."My children were older and curious and wanted to go see a show, that's when I thought, we should all go in costume"

June/July 2015- Garrettsville Cinema-The 69th Floorshow from the Akron/Barberton, Ohio area was presenting a show. First costume worn, dressed as Eddie, son dressed as Brad Majors.

2015 - current

The High Times

Carl's Rocky Horror themed tattoos.

August 2015-September 2018 The Cedar Lee Theatre - Second costumed appearance was at the regularly visited presentation by Simply His Servants, not recognized by regulars, asked by cast and the other hecklers if a current shadow cast/floor show member in some other city, asked to do "Hot Patootie" the next show, filled out cast application.

Carl, proudly, wears a few Rocky Horror themed tattoos including: Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Eddie's sling shot, and a memento from Berlin.

Notable Creations

Carl showing the results of the 3 hour makeup process.

• It was during August of 2015 when the idea, design, and building of the "Eddie Prop Bike" occurred. His fear of injury while using a Razor Scooter during "Hot Patootie" motivated the creation of the Eddie Prop Bike.

• He goes out of his way saying, "I don't know if I'm the first one to do it, but no one puts as much effort into their gash as I do!" This, of course, is in reference to Eddie's famous forehead scar.
