- There have been many discrepancies involving the recent DVD release of this title by Image Entertainment:
- The version has an 84-minute running time. The original running time is 87 minutes. There appears to be no footage missing. The print used was no doubt time compressed during the film-to-tape transfer. The version on the DVD release is in fact the uncut R-rated version.
- The R-rated U.S. theatrical cut is uncut despite the rumors. The "Frightmare 2" video release is slightly edited, removing a brief gore spot. The DVD displays the uncut R-rated version.
- The transfer on the DVD is presented full-frame at 1.33:1. Director Pete Walker shot the film in 1.33:1 full frame with the intention of matting the film at 1.85:1. The image on the DVD represents the full 1.33:1 frame as Walker shot it. As a result, there is excess picture information at the top and bottom of the frame. The 1.85:1 matting would have created a more compositionally correct image but the transfer represents the film as it was shot.
- The UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to edit the pitchfork murder, shots of blood dripping from Delia's mouth during the poker murder, and a closeup of Graham's mutilated face. The cuts were restored in the 1995 Redemption video release.
