OVERALL: Draw
The US Severin and UK 88 Films releases have new transfers (separate scans) and exclusive extras.
The UK release avoids the 'missing frames' issue that affected the US and Austrian Blu-rays (see the 'notes' for the US release) and also has two presentations of the film (one a new transfer from the 16mm negative, the other labelled as a 'Grindhouse' presentation and taken from a 35mm print), both English and Italian dubs (with optional English subtitles for the latter), and a wealth of contextual material. However, please note that the US and Austrian releases include exclusive interviews with Giordano and Crisante.

CUTS:
- Blu-ray ALL America- Severin Films - No cuts (85:12)

- Blu-ray B Austria- Illusions Unlimited Films - No censor cuts but frames are missing at every shot change due to wear at the splices (83:29)
- Blu-ray B 4-Disc BÜSTEN-Edition Austria- Cinestrange Extreme - No censor cuts, but the Italian/International Cut uses the Shriek Master (83:30) which is missing frames at every splice point, while the German Theatrical Cut has its own damage (84:44).
-
