- Alternate versionsOriginally released with a short sequence filmed partially in color. It is the scene when the deaf-mute Mrs. Higgins (Judith Evelyn), terrified by unknown forces, runs into a bathroom to hide and sees blood coming from the faucets of her sink and her bathtub filled with blood. Everything else in the scene is black and white except for the blood, which appears in garish red color - a typical William Castle gimmick. Current US and UK home media releases and television broadcasts include the restored partial-color sequence. The short sequence appears much grainier than the rest of the film due to the optical processes involved in achieving the composite effect.
