At one point on set, the cast had an off-camera Easter egg hunt. Some were never found, apparently, because you can see at least three of the eggs: one under Frank-N-Furter's throne, one in the main hall in place of the light, and another you can see when they are going up to the lair in the elevator.

A life-size bronze statue of Riff Raff dressed in the finale's space suit, was erected in Hamilton, New Zealand in 2004, in a tribute to RHPS creator/writer Richard O'Brien. The following is inscribed on the plaque: "It's astounding! Where we stand is the birthplace of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. On this site stood the Embassy Theatre, the home of Hamilton's Late Night Double Feature show, and the barber shop where Richard O'Brien cut hair and daydreamed from 1959 to 1964." WETA Workshops, of Lord of the Rings fame, designed the statue.
