Between R0 (no audio glitch) and R1 (more complete version) they have somewhat differing extras as well.
Make sure that you avoid R2 (4:3) and especially the very short UK release!
This film is also known as:
-The Beast Kills in Cold Blood

CUTS:
- R0 Italy- Raro Video / Nocturna - Long European version with extended nudity scenes and "close-up" inserts the latter give rise to continuity glitches (clothed vs unclothed) on returning to the mainstream film. Body doubles were likely/definitely used here, e.g. the one for Rosalba Neri does not share her birthmark/scar. But, itīs still missing, at the 34:16 mark, the entire explicit love-making scene between Rosalba Neri and the gardener. This footage is contained in the US Shriek Show disc. Another missing scene is the kiss between actresses Monica Stroebel and Jane Garret. However, the greenhouse sequence from when Rosalba enters the greenhouse is cut. It is more complete in the out of print "Gorgon" VHS-tape.
- R0 United Kingdom- Avenue / Boulevard Entertainment - Yes - All of the violence & sexual activity is missing. BBFC says "no cuts" though, so this was probably pre-cut (86:07 NTSC)
- R1 America- Shriek Show / Media Blasters - Long European version with extended nudity scenes and "close-up" inserts the latter give rise to continuity glitches (clothed vs unclothed) on returning to the mainstream film. Body doubles were likely/definitely used here, e.g. the one for Rosalba Neri does not share her birthmark/scar. Note also that the love-making scene between Rosalba Neri and the gardener is intact (itīs missing from the Italian release), but itīs not the "explicit version" of that scene it still removes the lower frontal nudity (95:56 NTSC)
- R2 Japan- Epcot - Unknown
