OVERALL: Draw

Between the R1 Code Red release for both US and Longer European cuts and the R1 Shriek Show SE for the 5.1 sound (in addition of including the original mono) and extras.

There is also a US budget-release of this film (by "Platinum"), but we don´t have proper specs. It´s said to be unauthorized.

There are essentially two main versions of the film and one hybrid cut:

1.) US theatrical cut - 91 minutes.
2.) International theatrical cut - 103 minutes.
3.) Hybrid cut - 94 minutes.

CUTS:

• R1 America- Code Red - No cuts - includes both uncut US theatrical version (90:24 NTSC) and the longer European version (102:24 NTSC)
• R1 2-Disc Special Edition America- Media Blasters - Yes - US theatrical cut; Blondie’s "Heart of Glass" song is shorter than in the UK-release, and the print is missing 0:03 of gore included in the old "Paragon Video" VHS tape and now in the UK DVD and also some other material is missing, probably for pacing (90:02 NTSC)
• R2 United Kingdom- Odeon Entertainment - Yes - Hybrid version that seems to be a mix of the US theatrical cut and the longer international cut (93:45 PAL)
