so, i used to love the rocky horror picture show, but when i loved it i was too young to understand the references to "american gothic" that are embedded in the church scene at the beginning. after reading part of (well, most of - god, that book goes down easy) the biel book for next week, i went to try to find a pic on the web of that RHPS scene, and i found the script to the movie.
here's the note for that scene:
JANET & BRAD linger outside the church. So do a strange FAMILY : An old man with a pitchfork and his wife and daughter. They resemble the Quaker family in "American Gothic", a painting.
quaker? biel's book is obviously deficient, because it does not explore this conflation. doesn't he have google?
