Comparison of the normal uncut version (TV) and the Director's cut.
Both version are contained in the US DVD of Fangoria/MTI Home video. The different parts can be either automatically switched during the movie or they can be obtained in the deleted scene section.
According to a directors quote the actual ending was inappropriate back in time because it was far to blackend and disturbing. Today it can be considered harmless. After all, this movie is a cult flick of the 70s which should be discovered by every horror fanatic.

A new German DVD by CMV contains the uncut version but the missing sequences can be seen in the deleted scenes section as well.

Uncut theatrical version = 83:28 min.
New director's cut =88:18 min.
25:39
