‘The Rocky Horror Show’ is Getting a Dance Game
The folks at the newly formed Rocket Lolly Games are eager to make a dance game out of the cult classic horror musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show, so eager, they’ve built a studio around that very goal. This is music to my ears, for if there was ever a licensed property that had the rhythmic chops to work as a dance game, it’d absolutely belong to Frankenfurter & Co.
I’m clearly not the only one who feels a shiver of anticipation for this, as they’ve already raised nearly $30k on Kickstarter, with about a week left to raise the remaining ~$5,700 they’re asking for. That’s not a lot of money, even for a mobile game, but it’s also only a small part of it. The studio received nearly £200,000 from investors earlier this month, reports The Herald.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
