Alternate versions

Although the cinema version was uncut the 1987 UK Virgin video release (as "Hide And Shriek") was cut by 58 secs by the BBFC. The cuts were fully waived for the 2005 Stax DVD and the film released under its original title.

Despite being released uncut on VHS, the movie later got indexed by the BPjM in Germany. As a result, the German DVD release by Kinowelt was cut by two minutes and 42 seconds in order to get back the "not under 18" rating. Most scenes dealing with violence are shortened to be less graphic. Since being removed from the BPjM index list back in May of 2013, the most recent DVD and Blu-ray releases are now completely uncensored like the old VHS release.
