Easter eggs:The back cover says there are "TV spots" but yet you don’t see them. They are hidden throughout the many Special Features (2 pages):
- To see the first "TV Spot", stay on the first page. From any option move left. You should see a new option to the left of main menu to view the spot.
- To see the second "TV Spot", select the "Cast and Crew" option from the second page. Now go to the second page and select Michael Cheyko. From here, go to the third page and you will see an AT marking underneath Johnny Depp’s picture. Move up from any option and select it.
- To see a third "TV Spot", select the "Production Notes" option from the second page. Now go to the last page. From here press up to see "TV Spot". Select it and watch.
- To see a fourth "TV Spot", select the "Gallery Of Satanic Drawings" option from the second page. Go to the Fourth Gate (second drawing – the exit at the end of the maze should be unblocked). You should see an AT in the lower right hand corner below the explanation. Press up from any option and select. -
