OVERALL: R1
For the anamorphic transfer and for being uncut.
Do note that this film has also been released by:
- Prism Leisure (UK; also cut)
- Manzotti / Medusa Video (Italy)
GENERAL NOTES:
The film was retitled "Witchery" on home video in the United States to avoid confusion with the "Witchcraft" direct to video franchise. The cassette advertised itself as being uncut but was missing some gore. The UK release was retitled "Ghosthouse II" to avoid confusion with the film "Panga" which was released on VHS under the title "Witchcraft". -
CUTS:
- R0 United Kingdom- Stax - Yes - Edited version; some footage has been cut from the dream sequence where a woman is raped by the devil. The remaining footage has been slowed down to keep the soundtrack in sync (92:56 PAL)
- R1 America- Media Blasters - No cuts (96:45 NTSC)
