OK, it's nice, but the elaborate packaging is just trying to disctract from the fact that the copy of RHPS is just the same (a DTS track would have been nice) and the copy of Shock Treatment is only going to have a trailer and bugger all else.
We are HUGE fans of both movies, and we consider this set to be an overpriced, overly-elaborate swindle.

Like Dustin was saying. A re-release of the 2 disc R1 DVD would be much appreciated. That DVD didn't stay on the shelves long enough before it went OOP.

Just think, you don't have to do much to that case t change it to a Rolling Stones concert release - go the Jagger!

I've always hated the film too, but have been meaning to rewatch Shock Treatment for ever now. All I remember is that it stars Jessica Harper of Suspiria and Phantom of Paradise fame (a rock opera of infinately better quality than Rocky Horror).
When I think of Rocky Horror, I'm reminded of Simon Pegg's quote in party episode of Spaced: "I hate it. It's boil-in-the-bag perversion for sexually repressed accountants and first-year drama students with too many posters of Betty Blue, The Blues Brothers, Big Blue and Blue Velvet on their blue bloody walls."

The head of the Rocky Horror Fan Club has a cameo in Shock Treatment and actually headed up a feature length docuemntary on the film. I can't imagine why they wouldn't feature it here.
