quick question

the song that features during the end credits of NOES2

is that the original song because the VHS version I grew up with (can't remember if it's on the DVD) featured some of the film score

I saw a BD projected during a marathon and had never heard the song before (it's like a 50's song I think) 

It's called "Did You Ever See A Dream Walking" by Bing Crosby and as far as I know, it's always been there. I consider myself somewhat of a horror buff, and I've never heard of a version that didn't use the song. Do you still have that VHS copy you grew up with?

EDIT: Found your answer. Apparently the studio didn't wanna pay for the rights to use some of the musical selections from the theatrical version when bringing the film to home video. Due to the negative critical reaction at the box office, they were probably trying to play it cheap. All music was restored on the DVD version and now BluRay.

Thanks for pointing this out! I love learning new bits of genre trivia!
