Severin 2019 and Eureka have exclusive extras - the Eureka limited edition has an entire additional film - while the Severin boxed set drops one of their exclusive extras but includes several other films and a feature-length folk horror documentary.
We presume that the Russian silents in the folk horror boxed set run at differnt timings from the Severin single-disc and Eureka editions due to differing framerates. -
