OVERALL: R2
The German 2-disc S.E for the extensive extras and restored bits of footage censored from the other available releases (See below).
Versions:
All extant DVD versions contain a slightly abbreviated version of the film (cut in the US allegedly to appease the Catholic Legion of Decency), which eliminates the following:
- a moment of blasphemy as Asher begs Price, in God's name, to spare her father and lover ('I beg of you mercy! Mercy in the name of God!') and, in response, is slapped in the face (Intact in the 2-disc German release)
- 1 second of nudity as Asher is thrown into the bathwater (Available as an extra on the 2-disc German release)
An even longer version has been screened on UK television, including the following additional footage:
- an additional 20 seconds of dialogue in the scene between Price and Asher on the battlements of the castle
- a 50 second scene in which Hop Toad tells the female dwarf that she will not be struck again, and the female dwarf implores Hop Toad to run away with her.
Avoid the poor transfer included in the UK 'Horror Classics' boxset release. -
