Compared are the Italian DVD (Movie Version) and the German DVD (Movie Version).

The differences:

The Italian DVD contains 8 additional scenes with a total length of 2 minutes and 50.5 seconds.
The German DVD contains 11 additional scenes with a total length of 6 minutes and 56 seconds.

After the book "Salem's Lot", one of Stephen King's works, was released in 1975, it took 4 years to make a movie out of it. The movie sporadically sticks to the source material but it completely differs now and then. There was s sequel in 1987 and a remake in 2004. Although one had agreed to do a motion picture, the decision was overruled. Now it was supposed to be a TV mini-series because almost 700 pages of content was simply too much for a 90-minute-motion-picture. For its European release, the decision to make a movie version with a length of almost 100 minutes out of it was made. This means 76 minutes of plot were removed. Although the torso does concentrate on the basics, important plot elements are missing and the results are a lot of plotholes. That being said, there are two Movie Versions: Both versions contain footage that is missing in the other one. The most striking difference in the Italian Version is probably the scene with Cully and Crockett though. In the German Version (and also the Extended Version), Cully holds Crockett at gunpoint. In the Italian Version, he puts his gun in Crockett's mouth. Said alteration is listed in the IMDB as well by the way. Also listed is Bill Norton's death but that is not true. The scene is identically equal in every single compared version. Speaking of which: Last but not least, the (comparison with the Extended Version).

Mark: I guess so.
June: Oh, Mr. Straker. My husband's birthday is next week, and I... Oh, dear.
Straker: It's quite reasonable, you know.
June: There's no chance that...?

Straker: English.
Ben: Georgian.

Straker: What an unfortunate way to acquire knowledge.
Ben: My aunt was housekeeper at the Marsten house, your house.
Straker: Oh, really? That's interesting.
Ben: I've always been curious about that place.
Straker: Perhaps I can satisfy your curiosity.

Ben: Interesting.
Straker: Remarkable, yes.
Ben: Mr. Straker? Do you believe that evil can be inherent in a house?
Straker: About as much as I belive that trees have souls. Well, perhaps they do. Oh, you're the writer. On vacation or vocation?
Ben: I am writing about the Marsten house.
Straker: And you'd like to visit. Well, why not? Mr. Barlow is on a buying trip, but the moment he arrives. You'll enjoy Mr. Barlow. And he'll enjoy you.
