A Plethora of Easter Eggs
-------------------------
Starting with the main menu screen. If the screen is left alone 
for around 30 to 40 seconds a short clip of Vampira will auto 
play and taunt the viewer. After the clip plays the main menu 
will reaper. The process will repeat ad nausea if no controller 
is touched. 

From the main menu, every static menu contains an Easter egg. 
Starting with the top left and working my way down and across 
our next stop is the scene selection menu. 

Back to the main menu and on into the Skeletons in the closet 
menu. At the main skeletons selection scene highlight the play 
feature option and move your remote to the right to reveal the 
egg. Guess what kiddies its more of your favorite damsel of the 
dark. 

The next item of interest is the first of the real Easter Eggs 
on the menu screens. This one can be found on the main menu by 
highlighting the audio commentary selection and then by pressing 
or moving to the right with your remote. At this point a broken 
Egg (very appropriate) appears in the bottom right corner of the 
screen you have already highlighted it by moving right so all that 
you now need to do is select it by pressing your play button or 
your enter button. This is my favorite Easter Egg on the DVD. 
It is a south park style animation of cut outs sporting the 
infamous actors heads while the words Easter Egg la la la play 
(in a Beatles way). In all following Eggs it should be understood 
that you need to press play or enter in order to access the egg. 

To continue following the credits of the main feature you will 
be treated to another appearance by Vampira. You should be able 
to skip to the credits via the scene select and fast forward 
through the credits to see this. Make sure to turn down your 
sound for this encounter with the dark one. 

Scene selection menu Chapters 1-6 highlight chapter six and 
press to your right on your remote to reveal the egg. 
This is another attack from Vampira. 

Moving on to the scene selection menu chapters 7-12. this time 
highlight the word back at the bottom of the screen and push 
right on your remote to reveal the egg. This one treats you to 
a still shot of Tim Burton in fort of a movie marquee. 

Next scene selection screen chapters 13-18. This time highlight 
the main menu option and move your remote right again to reveal 
the egg. This reveals a note by Terri Zwigoff.

Moving into the Audio commentary menu. Inside the menu highlight 
the Hollywood premiere selection and move your remote to the right 
to reveal the egg. This is a touching scene of two Ed Wood’s actors 
singing sweet Adeline. It appears to be an outtake from the reunion 
footage. 

For the next bunch enter the photo galleries main menu and highlight 
the retro galleries selection this time push your remote to the left 
to reveal the egg. Surprise surprise its more Vampira. 

Now enter the submenus of the photo galleries. We start with the 
retro galleries. Inside the retro galleries the Egg is located 
by the back selection. Once more move the remote to the left to 
reveal the egg. This one contains some Tim Burton sketches. 

Now moving into the film galleries menu highlight he word back at 
the bottom and move your remote to the left to reveal the egg. You 
will be treated to more of Tim Burton’s sketches. 

Next we go to the road show galleries and once inside you should 
highlight the Palm Springs Road Show choice. Move the remote to 
the left to reveal this pages egg. This contains some more of 
Burton’s character sketches. 

For this last one move back to the Skeletons main menu and go into 
the DVD credits menu. At the end of the credits you are treated 
to more of Vampira’s teasing.
