Is my copy free since I guessed it correctly in the quiz thread?

This is a "Fan Edit" of Humanoids From The Deep, done from a rip from the Japanese DVD (that is also available on here). After the recent "fan edits" started popping up here, I decided to do one based on something I had read in an article in Fangoria about Humanoids From The Deep and had thought about doing then. There are only two differences from the regular version and this one, and those differences are based on the complaints from director Barbara Peeters and star Ann Turkel (as taken from the retrospective article about Humanoids From The Deep in August 2007 issue #265 of Fangoria).
Apparently after the film was finished Roger Corman went back and added three scenes (one of which was kept for reasons I'll explain in a moment). Corman brought in Jimmy T. Murakami and had him add the scenes in an attempt to add more sex and violence, Murakami also directed "Battle Beyond The Stars".
Peeters described it this way, "Roger put in a couple of nude women to spark up the movie. He added the Salmon Queen being ravaged to the ending we shot, the tent attack and the rape of Peggy on the beach - shot on a dark and grainy film stock that didn't match ours. When Peggy's attacked, I only shot her screaming, with her hands clawing at the sand as the Humanoid drags her away. You saw the monster's hand on her leg, that's it - you didn't see anything else because it was too early! You don't know what happened to her. Later, in the Noids nest, you find her naked in the kelp bed and think, 'Oh my God - at least she's alive!' I don't really think we needed the shot of the Humanoid humping her, though I have no problems with nudity; I just thought it took the terror out and changed the whole tone."
She went on to say, " Roger decided to have 'one of the boys' do those scenes. When Ann (Turkel) and I went to the screening, we saw them for the first time, with no idea they had been added. I was furious, because I had put in so much energy and went through hell to make the film." (Peeters had been diagnosed with cancer before starting on Humanoids in addition to the horrible shooting conditions.) "Seeing this stuff with no attempt to integrate it? Ugh! It pissed Ann of and she was much more vocal about it than me."
She further went to say, "I wanted my name off, because it wasn't the movie I made- and they misspelled my name on half the posters anyway! I appeared in the LA Times disowning Humanoids as it opened." She adds that, as in her previous features, she had hoped to imbue Humanoids with a feminist message. "That's what Ann and I were making: a horror movie from a feminine point of view. We felt we could make a film based on man's obsessive desire to f**k with nature, the feminine side. The Humanoids were payback for corporate greed - it's always the old and the women who pay these bills. We did it within the horror formula. That's the movie we made, then we saw what the boys did to it; the crass puppet and big-tittied Salmon Queen were creations of pimply dorks jacking off to a trite, worn-around-the-edges dick fantasy. That's not what Ann and I wanted our names on. If there's a message in Humanoids, it's feminine survival in a male-dominated world; it ain't easy out here, baby!"
As for Ann Turkel, she said, "That's why I went public; it wasn't the film I made. I did it because Richard (Harris) pointed out to me that Peter O'Toole had the same thing happen with Caligula, when they added (pornographic) stuff after he shot his scenes. I complained to SAG and People magazine."


The three scenes are,
#1. Peggy, the first girl to get taken by the Humanoids. The addition was her, grainy and badly shot, rape scene on the beach.
#2. The ventriloquist David Strassman and his dummy Chuck Wood, along with a girl in a tent and a bunch of bad jokes, get attacked by a Humanoid who then chases the girl to another humanoid who rapes her (in another grainy badly shot scene).
#3. The Salmon Queen is cornered and has her top ripped off by a humanoid, but she picks up a rock and bashes it's head in and gets away.

Scene #1 and #2 have both been removed (along with a tiny transition scene after scene #2 where we first see the boat full of angry, drunken, locals. This scene was cut due to a Humanoid screech carrying over from scene #2. This cut was unintended, but gives a little more suspense in the following scenes and does not affect the "flow" of the movie.

Scene #3 was left in for a few reasons, despite the complaints of the director. First I felt it did actually fit with the "feminist message" even though it's a mostly gratuitous "nudie" scene, because she fights back and escapes. I also felt that it would be good to leave something (boobies) for the "pimply geeks" and their (and admittedly my) "dick fantasies". The final reason being that sounds from this scene once again carried over to the next scene, and it was felt the further edit of the following scene would have compromised it's timing and suspense.

There is also an addition of a small home-made credit sequence added to the beginning that reads, "Monster: Humanoids From The Deep Director's Cut / Fan Edit" and "BY TheCollector -and- RaScarabous".
The title of "Monster: Humanoids From The Deep" was chosen because it covers all titles used for the movie, and due to the version used for the edit being the Japanese version having the title Monster in big red letters with Humanoids From The Deep being in tiny red letters below that.
The big red letter Monster opening is the opening found in this version.
Also, being from the Japanese release, this version has the often missing decapitation scene on the boardwalk towards the end of the movie.
