Only the DVD title was changed. ---- In the US, it was released by Virgin Vision under the title Graveyard Shift. After Virgin Vision went out of business, Anchor Bay (aka: Video Treasures) released it under the title Graveyard Shift as well.
A sequel was also produced that was released in 1989. It was released by both Virgin Vision & Anchor Bay under the title THE UNDERSTUDY: GRAVEYARD SHIFT II. I actually own the VHS for GYII.
I rented Graveyard Shift back when I was in 2nd grade. That would probably make me 8 at the time and put the year around 1989. So, at least a year before the Stephen King version.
PS: I've owned part 1 & 2 (back in the VHS days) from both Anchor Bay & Virgin Vision. So, I definitely know w/o a doubt it was released under the title Graveyard Shift.
