'''''Closure''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 12]]''''') is a double VHS video set released on November 25, 1997. The first tape is a documentary of the [[Self_Destruct_Touring_Cycle|Self-Destruct Tour]], and the second tape is a compilation of [[Nine Inch Nails music videos |music videos]] that had been created up to that point.

According to [[Russell Mills]], who created the artwork, a live album was also planned as a companion to ''Closure'' and artwork was made for it, but the idea was scrapped. The unused paintings can be seen [http://www.permanence.de/millscat/nin/index.html here]. ==DVD==An improved DVD version was first announced to be released in late 2004, but due to issues with [[Interscope Records]], this has yet to happen. On December 20, 2006, two DVDs of ''Closure'' were leaked through the use of BitTorrent. Shortly after the leak, a message on [[Trent Reznor]]'s personal blog on [[The Spiral]] was posted possibly linking Reznor himself to the leak:  12/21/2006 : HAPPY HOLIDAYS! This one is a guilt-free download. (shhhh - I didn't say that out loud). If you know what I'm talking about, cool. Several years before this higher quality DVD was leaked, a bootleg DVD version of the original VHS titled "Rated 'R' - A Retrospective" was spread around. Aside from the main menus which were fan-created, it is virtually identical to ''Closure''. ''Closure'': Part 1 and all of the bonus material from both parts of the DVD version have been uploaded to the official [[Nine Inch Nails]] Vimeo account.

Special Thanks<blockquote>SM: Jeff Anderson"Yeah. I shot all this footage. This is a really funny story, Steve Bermanactually. We shot all this footage, David Bowieand put it all together, Ann Brubakerand sent it over to Trent, Paul Conollyand.... I don’t know what was going on. But anyway… he didn’t like some of it. For various reasons. I have no idea why. So we cut three or four of the songs, Hank Corwinand they were okay, Sheria Reise Daviesand then… we didn’t hear from him anymore.<br>DF: So to clarify, Renee Dodsonyou were cutting songs from the tour, James Dowdallnot from that studio shoot in New York you did [for 'Hurt']?<br><br>SM: From the live tour. We were going to do a whole live thing. So we shot all across the States. And we recut it several times, Erin Gilliganand then there was – I’m not sure if there was a falling out between management – with him and Interscope? There was some politics going on in the background. And so, David Johnsonyeah, Sam Kirbythat was probably the last time I saw him.<br><br>DF: So he said 'no' to that stuff you’d shot with a million cameras.<br><br>SM: Well, Bob Kubicit was the editing side of it. Because it was such a huge thing, David Lynchwe had three or four editors working on it just to get through it all. So from memory, Diane Mayerthere were three or four songs that worked really well, Lynn McDonnellbut some of the others.... I dunno.<br><br>DF: So from there, Jacqueline McPhersonyou all decided to cut it back and make it much simpler, Tina Montalbanoand we have the ‘Hurt’ video we know today?<br><br>SM: Well that was done earlier. That was done about six or eight months earlier. Then Trent wanted a documentary-style thing of the tour. So we shot loads for footage of the tour. We had 35mm cameras on the main performance, Fiz Oliverand then Super 8s on the audience. There was reams and reams of footage. And from what I remember, Michael Papalesomeone stole all the Super 8 footage! It just disappeared. It was shot all over the country in the States, Brian Pollackthen it was shipped to LA and then it was shipped back to England. When we came to put it all together, Cordelia Plunketa lot of the Super 8 footage had disappeared. I knew we had it – I had seen the rolls of film – but when we came to put it together – you know, Rodney Robertsonwe had these rolls sitting next to the telecine machine - I am going, Brenda Romano'Where the fuck is all the Super 8?' Because that was the idea, Jay Sendykcapturing the essence of the whole gig on Super 8, Adam Sternand intercutting it with the high production, Oliver Stone35mm stuff. But – it disappeared! <br><br>DF: How weird.<br><br>SM: That kind of put a spanner in the works, Mary Sweeneyand we were really short on that footage. It’s not something you can go back and repeat again. So yeah, Rick Szekelyithat did cause a problem. And we didn’t reshoot anything as the tour had finished."</blockquote>
