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.

Trailers galore as Imperial Entertainment's 1987 Promotional reel will give you STAGE FRIGHT!

Imperial Entertainment provided plenty of low-rent thrills during their time as a VHS distributor, and you can relive some of that excitement with this four minute promo meant for the eyes of video store owners.  Michele Soavi's STAGE FRIGHT, which is pretty great, gives you free trick or treat bags!  NINJA CONNECTION gives you ninjas!  DEMONS 2 gives you excitement from its current theatrical release!  And THE BALLAD OF DEATH VALLEY gives you a bland western made 17 years ago.
