Second Sight for the new and archival extras.
The US Shout! Factory release has the US R-Rated version as well as exclusive extras.
The German editions have two exclusive interviews but these aren't English-friendly.
NOTE:
Later pressings corrected the glitches on the UK release.
Two versions of this film exist:
- the UK version (95 minutes);
- the US version which was cut down (93 minutes); this is missing:
-- A sequence, where the Baron damns his useless hands and grasps an artery from the monster's wrist with his teeth, followed by his rinsing his mouth out with water.
-- When Briant inserts the monster's eyeball, and Cushing says, "Pop it in", a brief side view of this procedure is replaced in the American version with a reaction shot of Madeline Smith.
-- A shot of Bernard Lee's character's handless arms in his open coffin.
-- After the asylum director has his throat mutilated by the monster, the gushing of blood that comes from his neck is a split-second longer.
-- A few seconds more of the inmates tearing apart the monster during the climax, most notably missing in action is a shot where his guts are being squashed by someone's feet.
