- The Vestron home video release of "House By the Cemetery", which was released during the 1980s, has two reels of footage out of order. This error makes for a nearly incomprehensible film, as characters who die are seen later seen alive and running around as if they had never been killed.
- The film has had a huge history of BBFC problems over the years. The original cinema version was heavily cut with edits to the poker murder and the slashing of Ann's throat, and this print was later released on video prior to the Video Recordings Act and subsequently banned as a video nasty. The film was made officially available in 1988 though the print had been pre-edited by 34 secs (removing the cinema cuts) and then additionally cut by 4 mins 11 secs with further cuts to the opening stabbing, the bat attack, Norman's throat being torn out by Freudstein, and tracking shots of mutilated bodies in the basement. The film was again released in 1992 though this print had been heavily pre-cut by the distributors and removed 7 mins 27 secs of footage, thus rendering much of the film unintelligible. The 2001 Vipco DVD issue restored nearly all of the film's prior edits but was cut by 33 secs by the BBFC with lesser edits made to the poker murder and a throat cutting. Although willing to release the movie uncut the film had recently been prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act following the discovery of bootleg copies of the uncut version, leaving the BBFC no choice but to cut the film. All the cuts were finally waived for the 2009 Arrow DVD.
- The Anchor Bay DVD contains a deleted scene (as a hidden feature) which takes place right after the bat attack scene. The camera slowly zooms out from the dead bat while everyone stands around in shock. Lucy then says "Take me away from here, I can't stand it anymore!" This deleted scene can also be seen during the international trailer contained on the DVD.
- The version on the Anchor Bay DVD also includes additional footage with Giovanni Frezza in the cellar, there are almost 20 seconds extra shots of his eyes and face plus the glowing eyes of the monster he sees.
- For its American release, although unrated is still cut to remove scenes that featured Norman and Lucy Boyles arguing or showing any signs of marital tension were cut from the film. ALMI, after acquiring the U.S. theatrical rights, had these edits commissioned because they felt that the marital tension subplot would alienate viewers and those scenes were removed to make the film more of a traditional "Family Moves Into A Haunted House" style movie.
