OVERALL: Draw
R2 Germany has two additional short films and an extended version of the "5-25-88" featurette. Easter Egg version on Vinegar Syndrome release of "Corruption" has a newer 2K-mastered scan.
Do note that R0 and R1 have an easter egg not found on R2 Germany.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This film was originally called "The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell", and ran for 175 minutes. That print is now lost. It was later trimmed down to 115 minutes, in preparation for a showing at the Cannes Film Festival, but was never shown there. The film was then shortened again, down to 77 minutes, with a fabricated credits reel, rearranged scenes, and was re-titled "The Fun House".
