Blood running down the street?

Just saw this for the first time in years today after I DVR'd it from TCM. The last time I saw it was back when I was a kid in the 80s on PBS and I distinctly remember a scene simulating blood running down the street a la The Shining. It was chilling for me as a young kid at the time, but I didn't see that scene when I watched it again tonight. Has one of my most vivid memories of this thing just been a figment of my imagination for all these years or did TCM edit it out?

Figment of the imagination, there was never a scene like you described. In fact, I remember watching this when it originally aired on cable, then watched on PBS and was irked that they censored the word for excrement that's used in the show.
