- The DVD version is a few seconds shorter than the original. For example, the film once started with the car (with mom, dad and Debbie) pulling up and stopping BEFORE the dialog starts. There is also a little music that was cut out. The full opening can be seen in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of the film.
- Among the scenes edited from the film for its appearance on Mystery Science Theater 3000 in 1993 were a short scene of the family taking a wrong turn en route to valley lodge, more scenes of the family fleeing the cult, and a scene of the Master repeatedly smacking his defiant wife.
- 25 seconds from the complete released version are missing from the opening of the MST3K version, and 48 from the most common public domain print. These consist of a landscape shot panning right, and then a shot of the city of El Paso, followed by the shot of the car parking seen in the MST3K copy. All of this has been restored in the Benjamin Solovey reconstructed print.
