 MGMs 2005 DVD release does not contain the copyright obstruction found in  most prints opening titles. It reads: "COPYRIGHT 1963 BY ASSOCIATED  PRODUCERS INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED." It also contains the complete ending  sequence, including the dialog with the baby, that is missing from most  prints. This release is also digitally cleaned up, presented in wide screen  format, features an interview with Richard Matheson, one of the writers, and  is paired with the film Panic In Year Zero. It is missing one element common  from other prints. The American International Television title card and theme  music that starts off most prints is replaced with an inserted sequence of  MGMs famous lion roar trademark and the MGM website address. This DVD was  initially problematic on its release because of Sonys then recent purchase  of MGM. Sony had canceled the entire Midnite Movies line, and, though the DVD  was already set to be released, Sony had initial reservations on releasing it  at all. Copies managed to accidentally get shipped to some stores, such as  Best Buy, in the US and Canada, where they were immediately flagged as  "recalled." Most were, either immediately returned by the stores or pulled by  cashiers who should have refused the purchases. Some were still sold,  regardless, in early May 2005, before they should have been. By September  2005, Sony released the DVD properly into the wide market.
