The theatrical version of the film was initially released on VHS and Laserdisc in 1992, with an unrated director's cut on LaserDisc shortly afterwards. It was the success of the unrated version that alerted King to New Line's defiance of the order that his name be stricken from the film's credits and all marketing for it.
The DVD, released in December 1997, contains only the theatrical cut, with scenes from the unrated edition, being presented on the DVD as merely deleted scenes.
The director's cut was released on DVD on October 25, 2010 in the United Kingdom.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or media:
“We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.”
—Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)
