- The original UK version, also originally shown in US theaters with an R rating, differs from the version used for the Nostalgia Merchant videotape and pay-TV showings as follows:
- Tale 1: Full-motion scene of Daniel Massey hung upside down with a tap in his neck, shuddering as the waiter pours glasses of blood and hands them out. In the cut version, entire section replaced by a still frame of same.
- Tale 2: After Glynis Johns hits Terry-Thomas on the head with a hammer, blood spurts out, and he falls backward out of frame. The cut version becomes a still frame when the hammer makes contact with the head. The ending shows four shelves of her husband's body parts neatly preserved in jars, including one labeled "Odds and Ends." The cut version shows only the first two shelves.
- Tale 5: When the publisher gets his hands chopped off by the paper cutter, the camera dollies in as he continues screaming, holding out his bleeding stumps.
- Although the UK cinema version was uncut the 1988 video and TV showings of the film used the U.S print featuring the freeze frames as mentioned above. The 1993 Vipco video (and later DVD) featured the original cinema print and is accurately described as the 'Uncut Version.'
- August 2008, Film Four showed a BFI National Archive restored print which included the uncut versions of the Daniel Massey, Terry-Thomas and Tom Baker stories ('Midnight Mess,' 'The Neat Job' and 'Drawn and Quartered' respectively). This restored print was broadcast in an open-matte 1.33:1 format, showing more picture information at the top and bottom of the screen in comparison to the wide-screen 1.85:1 of the Fox Midnight Movies DVD.
- When reissued as "Tales From the Crypt, Part II" in 1974, the movie actually suffered additional cuts to get a PG rating. In Tale #2, the picture is frozen as the hammer is in mid-air; in Tale #5, the publisher's dismembered hands are not shown at all. This version was shown on TV for many years until replaced by the slightly more complete version.
