There are slight differences between the 1985 ThrillerVideo VHS version of the film hosted by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (
Cassandra Peterson) and the later HD version of it. Throughout the three story segments, occasionally scenes begin or end a few seconds sooner, which results in the Elvira-hosted VHS version running 21 seconds shorter than the Scorpion Releasing Blu-ray version, despite technically including extra footage. The only notable deviation comes at the end of the segment "The Vampires"; the Elvira-hosted VHS version is missing Lintom Busotsky's vampire father's final line ("Oh, we're a happy family!"). Additionally, during the segment "The Humgoo", a blue filter was utilized for the VHS transfer to give the appearance of eternal night in the village of Loughville.
