* Alternate Menu Screens can also be accessed by browsing through different album era's video catalogs and exiting back to the menu screen. Exiting via the "Holywood" or the "Antichrist Superstar" index gives you a Holywood theme, "Mechanical Animals" and "Golden Age of Grotesque" gives you a GAOG theme, while "EPs, etc" or "Portrait Of An American Family" grants you the default "Lest We Forget" theme. Curiously, selecting "Special Features" with the "Holywood" theme has the same function as selecting "Play All".
