Two versions were shot, one for TV broadcast and one to be shown in theaters before The Addams Family (1991). The version shown in theaters does not feature the special effect sequence featuring Hammer's decapitated head, but instead starts with him escaping the guillotine.
A VHS tape was released featuring both versions of the video, now identified as "The Hammer Head Version" and the "TV Version" (which was also the one shown in theaters). It also include a 20 minute behind the scenes Making Of featurette.
13 year-old Jimmy Rollins was an extra in the music video.
