Ignoring a bootleg version from Midnight Choir released in 2009 and quickly discontinued, the most attractive option on DVD actually came from Germany in 2005 under the title Der dämon und die jungfrau, complete with a much sharper anamorphic transfer and audio options in Italian, English and German with optional German subs, plus alternate openings (English and Italian) and theatrical trailers (German, Italian and French). As with many other titles of the period (most significantly Black Sabbath), the Italian prints were timed far more on the golden side with a sunnier appearance far different from the IB Technicolor versions released internationally; that was the source here, and it's easily the brightest edition around, for better or worse.
Now we jump ahead to 2013 with a Blu-ray release and DVD reissue from Kino Lorber as part of their ongoing Mario Bava line, and it's one of the few (alongside Hatchet for the Honeymoon) not licensed from Alfredo Leone. As you'd probably expect, right off the bat the transfer is yet another variant in the film's odd home video history and looks the closest to date to the Technicolor prints seen in most English-speaking territories. It's appropriately dark and rich with very crisp detail, causing the sparing but dramatic bursts of red and blue lighting to really pop off the screen. The frame grabs here are all from the Blu-ray, and while it really plays more beautifully in motion than a simple image can convey, it might at least give you some idea of what to expect. Most surprisingly, this is also one of the cleanest-looking Bava releases they've turned out to date, thanks to what appears to be a pristine French print (based on the opening credits). The 1.78:1 framing also adds a significant amount of information on the sides compared to the German disc, especially at the bottom. The PCM mono audio is presented in English, Italian and French with optional English subs translated from the Italian version, and Tim Lucas' commentary makes a welcome return and still holds up just as well. Additional extras include the French trailer for the main feature (looking pretty dupey as always) and bonus previews for Black Sabbath, Baron Blood, Bay of Blood, Lisa and the Devil and House of Exorcism. Bava hasn't exactly had the smoothest history on Blu-ray to date, but you can easily file this one among the winners and rank it as the most satisfying, impressive presentation of this often mistreated macabre gem to date.
