Summary: The Rocky Horror Picture Show featured a real human skeleton in its coffin clock prop, which was rented from Ken Paul's London props company. The clock was later auctioned off in 2002 along with other recognizable props from famous movies. The skeleton is rumored to be the remains of the young Italian lover or husband of the Countess of Rosslyn, who carried his remains in the clock for the rest of her days. However, the legitimacy of the story is questionable, as some argue that the skeleton may have belonged to David Rizzio, Mary, Queen of Scots' confidant and lover, who was stabbed to death in Holyrood Palace in 1566.
