OVERALL: Draw
Retromedia and Artus have the seance sequence correctly positioned before the opening credits (the US version moved the credits to the start with the finish of the seance before cutting back). The Artus is anamorphic but an upscale of the Retromedia transfer with interlacing artifacts.
NOTE:
The original theatrical aspect ratio was 1.66:1 in Italy but 1.85:1 everywhere else. -
CUTS:
- R0 Double Shock Show America- Retromedia - No cuts - with the seance sequence positioned before the credits as intended (the American version of the film moved the credits to the start) (94:57 NTSC)
- R0 France- Artus Films - No cuts - Has the seance sequence positioned before the credits as intended (the American version of the film moved the credits to the start) (90:49 PAL)
- R1 Fright Night: 10 Movies America- Brentwood Home Video - No cuts - American version which moves the opening credits ahead of the pre-credits seance.
