• The film had considerable problems with the BBFC on its initial cinema release and was subsequently cut by around 2 minutes. Among the scenes edited were heavy cuts to the repeated stabbing of the Marquis (reduced to 1 stab), the murder of the prostitute where scenes of biting and a shot of her dead body were completely removed, and the killing of the werewolf in the bell tower which saw shots of his screaming when the bells ring, a blood spurt from a gunshot, and a closeup of his blood-dripping face also removed. In addition the film was also cut to edit scenes of the servant girl waking in the dungeon, a shot of the Marquis picking a scab from his face and images of dead lambs. The 1995 UK Warner video release was identical to the cinema print. The film was later completely restored with all the missing footage intact and first shown on BBC in 1994, and this version was released (on Region 1 DVD only) as part of Universal's "Hammer Horror Series" 8 film box set.
