Witchfinder General (2-Disc Special Edition)

"Witchfinder General" is considered the founder of the historical horror film and caused a scandal and heated debates when it was released in 1968 due to its uncompromising realism.

With this edition, you have the ultimate release of this classic.
In addition to the uncut original version, the set contains the US export version as well as the "Conqueror Worm" version in high definition for the first time worldwide. In addition, there is extensive and partly exclusive bonus material.

The versions:

"Witchfinder General" [Director's Cut].
Version favoured by Michael Reeves.

"Witchfinder General" [Export Version].
The European versions contain alternative shots of the inn scenes, including some nudity. The strumpets are played by different actresses in the clothed and unclothed versions. This version is available in high definition for the first time in the world.

"The Conqueror Worm" [with German light sound].
The American version, titled "The Conqueror Worm", features an opening and closing narration from the Edgar Allan Poe poem of the same name, performed by Vincent Price. This version was never released in Europe and is presented here for the first time worldwide in its entirety in high definition and with the original music by Paul Ferris.

"The Conqueror Worm" [English with synth score by Kendall Schmidt.
The US video version, entitled "The Conqueror Worm", not only includes the reference to the Poe poem, but also replaces the original music by Paul Ferris with a synth score by Kendall Schmidt. This has been fully restored and is available on digital media for the first time anywhere in the world.

"The Conqueror Worm" [English with the original music by Paul Ferris].
The film was also shown in American cinemas in 1968 under the title "The Conqueror Worm", but still with the original music by Paul Ferris. This is the first time since the theatrical release that the film is available again in this version.
