In the film (on DVD) her head is pulled through the hole in the roof. Her face is _covered_ in blood, and she has gory wound, but no skin is stuck to the splinters. This makeup is consistent with later shots of the face.

I also compared this to another copy of the film, originating from a japanese VHS(?). The scene is identical to the Shriek Show DVD.

I still believe this is just alternative footage of the same scene... They put the skinning-scene in the trailer, but later decided that they wanted more blood instead.


Btw, The SS DVD has Italian credits and the japanese has French credits.
You're probably right, they must have thought the face skinning scene wasn't bloody enough to be included in the final film.They probably included it in the trailer just to use the footage.
