VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED
Universal Home Video have hidden four trailers on their release of “Village Of The Damned”. If you go to the “Cast & Crew Bio” section you will find trailers to “Somewhere In Time”, “For Richer Or Poorer”, “Streets Of Fire” and “The Thing” in the filmographies of Christopher Reeve, Kirstie Alley, Michael Pare and John Carpenter, respectively.

THE WHIP AND THE BODY
On VCI Home Video’s release of the Mario Bava film 'The Whip And The Body' you can find some hidden deleted scenes, if you know where to look.
From the disc’s main menu go to the 'Special Features' menu and select the 'American Title Sequence.' Once it is running, hit the Chapter Forward button on your remote control and you will be treated to a deleted scene. Once it finishes, you will be taken to a special 'Hidden Features' menu with a selection for a second deleted scene. Interestingly, both deleted scenes are also accompanied by an optional audio commentary by Tim Lucas.

THE WICKER MAN
On Anchor Bay Entertainment’s versions of the cult film 'The Wicker Man,' you can find some very cool and rare footage hidden in the depths of the menus.
This Easter Eggs is available on the disc of the theatrical version of the film, which is sold individually and is also part of the limited 2-disc edition.Insert that disc and from the main menu, select the 'Extras' menu entry. On the next screen then highlight 'The Wicker Man Enigma' and then press the 'up' key on your remote control. This will highlight a large question mark on the screen and if you press 'Enter' now, you will be treated to some rare interview footage. It is a 25-minute 'Critics Choice' interview from the 1997 re-release of the movie, featuring actor Christopher Lee and director Robin Hardy. While the image quality of the segment is very poor, the interview itself most certainly is not!

WISHMASTER
Live Entertainment have hidden an interesting feature on their “Wishmaster” DVD. Go to the “Scene Selections” and then to any of the Chapter stops submenu. Now wait and don’t touch anything on your remote control. After about 20 seconds you will hear the Djinn ask you to make your wish. If you keep waiting, he will warn you that if you don’t make your wish soon, he will make one for you. If you keep waiting even more, well, he will in fact make the wish for you…
