OVERALL: Blu-ray ALL
The only version we currently have specifications for.
This film exists in two versions:
(1.) The original UK version (91 minutes).
(2.) The US version (79 minutes).
The American version (from AIP) titled “Horror House” drastically re-edited the structure of the film from the British version - which had already been altered from writer / director Michael Armstrong’s original cut of the film with new scenes written by Peter Marcus and directed by Gerry Levy (for instance, the pub scene with the song “Responsibility”), moving introductory scenes to the middle of the film and reducing the screen time of George Sewell who plays the older married ex-lover of one of the characters.
Thankfully the original version has superseded the American version on home video abroad as well as on television in the United States (the latter from a master by current U.S. rights owner MGM). -
