MAC is set to release a [movie-inspired makeup collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixars-toy-story) that celebrates a beloved musical. Although ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ was released in 1975, the quirky film has maintained a dedicated [cult following](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-cosmetics-x-wednesday). MAC’s latest makeup collection celebrates the glitz and glamour that characterizes the popular film.

The new ‘MAC x Rocky Horror’ collection is set to feature 21 movie-inspired makeup items. Each of the items in the collection is inspired by a different aspect of the classic film. There are sparkly glitter pots inspired by Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s intense eye makeup, as well as crimson red lipsticks that mimic the film’s iconic logo. The idea behind the dramatic new collection is to give fans the opportunity to embody their favorite character.
