Between the UK edition for being completely uncut and the US edition for its featurette, even though one second is missing.

The cut status of the German releas is currently unknow: if you own it, please contact us through our forums.
CUTS:
- R0 Germany- Legend Films - No known cuts.
- R1 America- MGM - Compared to the old Laserdisc (Image/MGM), one second is missing. It appears on the laserdisc from 50:09 - 50:10 min (Side 1), and should have been inserted into the DVD at 49:18 min. The scene in question takes place during the sequence where Vincent Price and Peter Lorre are attempting to keep a supposedly-dead Basil Rathbone inside his coffin. Price and Lorre finally "succeed" by both sitting on top of the coffin. On the DVD, this scene immediately cuts to one of Price and Lorre suddenly hitting the floor for no apparent reason. This is cut: Rathbone's character is obviously still alive, because he suddenly pushes the coffin lid upward with all his might, and you see Price and Lorre flying up and backwards onto the floor.
  Special thanks to Jeff Krispow from www.hometheaterforum.com for providing this information.
- R2 United Kingdom- Optimum Home Entertainment - No cuts - all previous cuts waived (79:46 PAL).
  The original BBFC cut concerning "shots of undertakers tipping a corpse out of a coffin into a grave" has been restored.
  The missing second on the US disc is also confirmed to be present.
