There are also vanilla releases available from Anchor Bay UK under there 'Horror Classics label which should be avoided.

GENERAL NOTES:
The film was released in English with a four channel (LCRS) mix with directional dialogue (a mono mix was also available for theaters that could not handle multi-channel audio). The 5.1 mixes are newer tracks that center the dialogue (the 2.0 stereo mixes are downmixed from 4.0, possibly sourced directly from the LPCM track on the American Laserdisc). French and Italian theatrical mixes were in mono.
