This has been released in Region 4 (and, I believe, in Region 2)
under the original title "The Witchfinder General". The DVD contains
the cut and uncut version of the film (although, unfortunately, not
the "Conqueror Worm" opening titles). The uncut version has restored
the more sadistic scenes from videotape sources, so whenever it gets
to something extra violent the picture goes blurry, but it is about
the best they could do apparently. The DVD also contains a film clip
by some band that sings a song inspired by the film,
