1. Shock Treatment

   Shock Treatment is a 1981 American musical comedy film directed by Jim Sharman, and co-written by Sharman and Richard O'Brien. It is a follow-up to the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show. While not an outright sequel, the film does feature several characters from the previous film, most portrayed by different actors, as well as several Rocky Horror actors in new roles. The film stars Jessica Harper as Janet and Cliff DeYoung in a dual role as Brad and the film's main antagonist Farley Flavors, with O'Brien and Patricia Quinn playing sibling character actors. Given a limited release on the midnight movie circuit beginning on October 30, 1981, Shock Treatment was a critical and commercial failure, not earning the same level of cult film status its predecessor received. In 2015, the film was adapted as a stage production in London.

1. shock treatment

   Shock treatment, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is a medical procedure in which a series of controlled electric shocks are delivered to the brain in order to treat certain mental illnesses, such as severe depression and bipolar disorder. This treatment is usually used when other treatments such as psychotherapy and medication are unsuccessful. It aims to alter the patient's brain chemistry and improve their mental state. Despite the controversial nature and potential side effects, shock treatment has been found effective in many cases.
