Between the SE / CE releases. Note, that R1 has some bonus trailers" while the non-SE / CE release include the theatrical trailer.
Another US edition from Universal is also available.
Notes about the versions:
All of these DVD-releases are the same R-rated theatrical cut.
The film was originally released in Europe in unrated form (both theatrically and on VHS). Our visitor The13thman has compared R1 SE DVD, and original UK 18 cert VHS, and the death of the psychiatrist is shorter on the DVD than the tape, several shots are clearly missing. From the www.melonfarmers.co.uk: "Gory death of the psychiatrist about 1 hour 7 minutes: A few frames are cut to the initial tearing and blood spurting as well as a frontal sitting scene of a shocked Virginia Madsen when blood spurts onto her face. The present cut shows merely a quick reaction shot. Also cut is a more graphic rocking of the doctor as he violently headbutts the table when Tony Todd's character Candyman is tearing away at his flesh. The screams of the doctor are reduced for sound impact too." -
