OVERALL: Draw

All three have exclusive extras but the German ones are not English-friendly.

CUTS:

• R1 The Giallo Collection America- Shriek Show/Master Blasters - No cuts - Original Italian version. There are some stories, that George Romero shot some additional gory scenes for Spasmo's US-release (this DVD is the first US-release of this film outside the theatrical release). From "The Zombies That Ate Pittsburgh" book by Paul Gagne: "...the company (Laurel) became involved with importing and distributing some twenty-three foreign feature films, including an Italian psychological thriller entitled "Spasmo", notable because Romero directed some insert material in Cinemascope for the film's US-release: "It was really nicely shot, and very rich looking", says Romero. "In the Italian version, you never saw the killer actually do the killings, so we added about ten minutes showing the kills.""
• R2 Limited Edition Mediabook Germany- X-Rated - No cuts (90:11 PAL)
• R2 Cult Cinema Collection United Kingdom- 88 Films - No cuts - With English credits (90:11 PAL)
