Alternate versions for
The Vampire Lovers (1970) More at IMDbPro »

• The original UK cinema (and video) versions were cut by the BBFC to remove a brief 1 sec full-frontal nude shot, and to edit a staking and the opening decapitation scene. The cuts were waived for the 2002 ILC DVD release, though the nude shot was unavailable to restore at the time. It has since been rediscovered and fully restored for the U.S MGM release and the 2008 UK Optimum DVD also featured the fully uncut print.
  
  
• The film was cut for its R rating and the old Embassy videos reflect this edit. MGM restored most of the footage for its 1999 VHS release, except for part of the opening decapitation and some nudity in the bathing scene. The nudity was found and added in to the 2003 DVD release, which now presents the film complete save those missing frames in the opening beheading. The UK DVD contains MGM's first restoration that was on VHS in the USA. The R1 MGM DVD contains the more complete edition.
