  • Notes:
    French title: "Le train des épouvantes"
    Packaged in a Mediabook with a 16 page booklet.
    Note the transfer is of the 2015 faulty Pinewood Restoration: 1. In Christopher Lee's segment, his scream as he's being loaded into the ambulance is mixed very low; the correct version is loud and piercing. In the French dub the scream of Christopher Lee is as it should be. But not in the original English version as mentioned. 2. The musical sting when the god appears in the voodoo segment is missing altogether. This is also missing in the French dub. 3. The last scene of the film, as the devil walks along the platform, is truncated by around 30 seconds and the music ends abruptly, instead of a slow fade.
