You need a bit of...OOOHHH SHOCK TREATMENT
All you Rocky Horror fans, check out this article about the possibility of releasing Shock Treatment on DVD.
Short version: Fox currently has no plans for even a bare-bones disc, and there's a chance they don't even have the original negatives! You might find a home-brewed one on eBay, but those will be made from the tape, or from a laserdisc released in the early 80s, the infancy of laserdisc, which is not much better.
Come on, Fox. You released Myra Breckenridge on DVD, for fuck's sake. Quit listening to Sal Piro, already!
