I got the impression that they used some alternative footage in the film.

Perhaps someone has the integral version/bootleg from Midnight Video on VHS? At least they claimed to have the most complete version.

Ok, I just had to check the Shriek Show DVD and compare the scene with the one in the trailer (can be found on youtube).

In the trailer the girl's head is pulled through the roof and she has a wound on her forehead where blood is pouring out. Her face is skinned on the splinters on roof. Quite nasty, but not very gory and it looks quite fake.

In the film (on DVD) her head is pulled through the hole in the roof. Her face is _covered_ in blood, and she has gory wound, but no skin is stuck to the splinters. This makeup is consistent with later shots of the face.

I also compared this to another copy of the film, originating from a japanese VHS(?). The scene is identical to the Shriek Show DVD.

I still believe this is just alternative footage of the same scene... They put the skinning-scene in the trailer, but later decided that they wanted more blood instead.


Btw, The SS DVD has Italian credits and the japanese has French credits.

I'm terribly sorry, but it seems like I have killed this thread ?!

You're probably right, they must have thought the face skinning scene wasn't bloody enough to be included in the final film.They probably included it in the trailer just to use the footage.

And would love to see Endgame released as well.

Tbh no offence to shameless but when consider how long they’ve been going and how many films they’ve released it very poor tbh.

2020 Texas Gladiators and especially Endgame would be welcome BD releases.
