Alternate versions

The US version of the film eliminates both the original epilogue and prologue as the Professor tells the story of Carmilla, as well as almost every scene with Martha and Marie. That version also includes a totally different ending on which Georgia herself becomes a vampire, as well as an all new voice over narration by Millarca herself.

The new French DVD is fully uncut, except for the infamous dream sequence, which is almost entirely cut and re-edited.

The Japanese cut has slightly different opening credits and omits the Paramount logo at the end.

In the United States, the French version has become available with English subtitles under the title "A Lust for Dying".
