Adding new footage to films broadcast on television: Hammer's KISS OF THE VAMPIRE (1963) was shown on TV as KISS OF EVIL. All displays of blood or fangs were removed, and inserted was this subplot dealing with a family from the village whose daughter is being seduced by one of the main vampire characters via a music box (said character makes no appearance in this new plotline). Whereas the original film ended with the vampire cult being massacred by bats, this new footage became the epilogue, with the family celebrating the change of things, and the daughter's reunited boyfriend chucking the music box into the fireplace.
The Fredric March DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE (1931) suffered many cuts. Miriam Hopkins' striptease was removed by the Production Code, and a series of scenes between the first and second transformation (Hyde changes back to Jekyll to hide his identity from Poole, Jekyll's failed attempt to elope with his fiancee, and Jekyll's growing frustration about his fiancee's absence out of town, compelling him to try the potion again) was edited out to make it into one transformation (A children's 'novelization' of this version- with stills- obeyed this edited storyline). A good amount has been restored in the late 1980s and so on.
