    While the "Director's Cut" is being considered the regular version by now, a single release of the Theatrical Version is barely available. The Theatrical Version is Carpenter's movie he shot as a student and became the Director's Cut by adding one single scene with a length of 10 min. The Theatrical Version is also known as "Original Release" and the Director's Cut as "1974 Extended Release".

    The Directors Cut and Theatrical Cut are both on the same Dark Star blu-ray. The Theatrical Cut is 10 minutes longer.
