- After premiering at 106m, film was cut to 93m; some of the cut footage was edited to earn an "R" rating, replacing than the original "X".
- Although the UK cinema version didn't suffer as many cuts as Flesh for Frankenstein (1973) it was edited by around 4 minutes by the BBFC with extensive cuts to the sex scenes and edits to shots of the Count drinking and then vomiting up blood. The 1995 First Independent video version and all subsequent UK releases were fully uncut.
- Originally rated "X" when released in 1974, in 1975 the film was re-cut to remove graphic violence and sex and this version received an MPAA rating of "R".
- Due to the uncut version being heavily SPIO/JK indexed at that time, in order to get a wider video release in Germany, the German version was heavily cut for violence to secure a "not under 16" rating from the FSK. Although deleted from the index list in 2017, only just now in 2024 was the uncut version granted a "not under 18" rating.
