DVD vs VHS versions


When Death Scenes were released on DVD by Anthem, they renumbered the films from the original order as released by Wavelength on VHS.

The specific reordering of the titles goes like this (with the original Wavelength numbering on the left, the Anthem renumbering on the right):

Death Scenes 1 --> Death Scenes 3: Los Angeles
Death Scenes 2 --> Death Scenes 1: Manson
Death Scenes 3 --> Death Scenes 2: Uncensored Scenes of Death

The egregious renumbering aside, however, the films are indeed internally consistent, without any cuts or edits (save for the aforementioned title-screen discrepancies, and one sole cut explained below). The Wavelength Death Scenes 2, for instance, is present in its entirety as the Anthem Death Scenes 1. Likewise, the Wavelength Death Scenes 3 is the same film as the Anthem Death Scenes 2.

The only exception comes at the very end of the Anthem Death Scenes 3. The DVD abruptly cuts out right as some vintage World War II newsreel footage is introduced to wrap up the film.
