History
The statue commemorating Rocky Horror's creator Richard O'Brien (who once lived in Hamilton) was commissioned by Weta Workshop and unveiled November 26, 2004. The statue is in a small park in a busy shopping area, located on the former site of the barber shop Richard O'brien once worked in. In 2016 public toilets were added to the park with a Sonic Tranducer. As the path winds down towards the Waikato River, there are film quotes on the walls and benches. There is a live cam on the website and you can even download a picture of you standing by the statue.
