Humph!
Dear Gary: I was disappointed with Laurie Sevano’s review of Rocky Horror Picture Show in Issue 43 because the author suddenly became quite vague when referring to the hidden third version. There were no specifics on how to access it or what it was. Since no amount of "clicking around" revealed this special feature, my suspicions are that Laurie Sevano didn’t find it either.

Well I never! Find my humor less than amusing all you want—within reason, of course—but questioning my integrity or my commitment to providing accurate information is completely uncalled for...and couldn’t be further from the truth. My reason for becoming "quite vague" was no different from what I always do in regard to the "hidden goodies" on discs because, to me, half the fun is discovering them and finding out what they are. I receive the occasional e-mail asking for more specifics, and I’m more than happy to oblige, but in print, I will always only make a veiled reference to preserve those who enjoy the "thrill of the hunt." Without exception, I will not report a hidden goodie or supplemental feature unless I have seen it myself. I take some of the responsibility for Mr. Cornelius’s troubles, however, because I directed people to click around on the special features menu page when I should have written the main menu page. You know, I checked that twice and still referenced it incorrectly. But, I’m still not going to say what is there or exactly where to find it (hint: it’s just a click to the left...), but I will tell you for Rocky Horror Picture Show fans, it’s well worth the time.
