Home Video release

After it's brief theatrical runs in the UK and US, the film has had sporadic official US VHS releases and several bootleg DVD releases. The 1st VHS release came from Goodtimes in 1987, utilizing a battered and cut down 16mm print with the US "Crucible of Horror" title. This release was unlicensed, as it was presumed the title had fallen into public domain by that time. As MGM had assumed The Cannon Group catalog after Crédit Lyonnais took full control from Pathé Communications, MGM/UA Home Video put out an officially licensed release in 1993 and reissued in 1998, utilizing a transfer made from an original film element with the US title. Despite being in a cropped 1.33:1 ratio, this release was considered the best available version to date and was the source for DVD releases put out by Trinty Home Entertainment and bootleg outfit Mr. Fat W Video.

Scream Factory announced plans to bring this title onto Blu-Ray, under licence from MGM. This release came out on April 10th 2018, utilizing a restored 2k scan of the best available film element under it's "Crucible of Horror" title, and presented in the original 1.66:1 widescreen ratio along with the films US theatrical trailer.

As of 2019, this title has not been released on video in the UK in any form, most presumably due to rights issues.
