The VHS trailer for THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

Believe it or not, until 1990, you didn't have the option of seeing ROCKY HORROR at home, making rehearsing for the midnight shows virtually impossible unless you had a raggedy, third-generation bootleg.  The film's long-awaited release on VHS was controversial, partially because die hard fans feared that this would be the end of the midnight movie circuit (it wasn't), but also because the VHS wasn't released at a sell-through price, causing thousands of fans to shell out $90 for a VHS tape.  But, heck, at least there was a new mini-documentary on the tape.
