Versions Notes:
1. The IMDb Technical Specifications page reports that there are 89min and 95min versions, but does not provide further details:

2. According to Wikipedia, some erotic content shot for the movie was rejected by the Italian censors (which seems strange given how strong some content was in other Italian movies released earlier than this one). This may explain why there is harder content in the trailer than in the movie. Wikipedia also states that there was a French release that retained all the erotic content and also had some hardcore inserts, so possibly this is the 95min version:

3. If the reported runtime for the R1 American release (87:11) is correct, it is effectively about 1:28 shorter than the R0 UK and R2 Scandinavain releases, so it may have additional cuts.

Other Notes:
1. The movie's main English title at the top of the page should be changed from "Bloodsucker Leads the Dance" to "Bloodsucker Leads the Dance (The)".
2. Apparently the movie has also been released on Blu-ray in the UK by Black House / Screenbound Pictures. However, it appears to be OOP.
