- When Allied Artists studios released this film to television in the mid-1960s, it had to be padded out to at least 75 minutes in length to be viable for late-night time-slots. The opening sequence of the studio's _Frankenstein 1970 (1958)_ was reprocessed (even more fog) and spliced into the middle of this movie to extend the first nightmare sequence.
- Television broadcasts of the padded-out version begin with a scrolling-text introduction:
- "We raise a familiar ghost from its moonlit grave, to bring you a sequel to the story of the world's most famous monster.
- "On the eerie grounds of an ancient manor house in England lies a tomb with a grim history. Within the tomb is the body of the man known as Dr. Jekyll -- Mr. Hyde.
- "THESE are the startling revelations concerning an unknown secret, buried with the fiend . . . and discovered by the girl who never knew, she was the 'DAUGHTER OF DR. JEKYLL'"
- Next comes the narrated prologue, and only then the standard title sequence.
