Der Teufelsschrei

According to Clint Howard and director Eric Weston, the original cut of the film which he submitted to the ratings board contained even more footage than the uncut DVD release, including more special effects, as well as extensions of the bathtub death scene and the cadet having his heart ripped out. But their labored efforts to find a copy of this version have proven futile, and they believe it is likely gone forever.

In the first shower sequence one of the actors can be seen wearing a jockstrap.

The original pre-cert rental release of Evilspeak was uncut. The 1987 UK video release was cut by three minutes and 34 seconds by the BBFC. The cuts were: two mins two secs of a young maiden having her head chopped off, 58 mins one secs of a shot of the basement bloke having his neck broken, 65 mins 23 secs of pigs attacking woman in bath and eating her guts. 88 mins 19 secs of the priest have a nail in the head and shots of him. 90 mins four secs of a teacher having his head splatted by Coopersmith. 90 mins 21 secs of a pig eating the fat kid. 91 mins nine secs of a kid breaking a window, 91 mins 18 secs of pigs eating, 91 mins eight secs of another head chop, 92 mins 18 secs of a kid banging on a door to escape, 92 mins six secs of a fourth head chop, 92 mins eight secs of a kid being eaten in an air vent, 92 mins two secs of a kid running from pigs, 93 mins 11 secs of heart ripping. 95 mins eight secs of Coopersmith's digital image. The credits have been speeded up (but not even the uncut one got the timing right on the letters appearing) Normal credit sequence = two mins 30 secs, speeded up credits = one min 15 secs. The initial 2004 Anchor Bay DVD saw most of the cuts waived, though the version submitted had been re-edited by the distributor. Later the same year the film was submitted again, this time containing the original print and including all the graphic violence, and was passed uncut by the BBFC.
