Adam Lambert turned to Instagram this week to share a first look of himself transformed into the character of 'Eddie' in FOX's THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. Eddie is described as the ill-fated, ex-lover of Dr. Frank N. Furter, portrayed by Laverne Cox in the upcoming FOX reboot. Meat Loaf took on the role in the original 1975 musical.

Just in time for Halloween, the brand-new production of the 1975 cult classic "THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW: Let's Do the Time Warp Again" will air Thursday, Oct. 20 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
