 The theatrical version (the version released on video in the US) has scenes  that were removed or severely truncated for broadcast on American TV, due to  nudity, sex, the use of real life dwarfs, mutilated and otherwise deformed  people, and allegedly profane references to the Catholic Church. Among the  scenes reduced or removed for broadcast were Alisons first suicide attempt,  her first encounter with her fathers zombie, and her tea with her lesbian  neighbors.
