Ok I remember seeing this lost ending on cable. I dont remember which service it was on but I saw it. A spaceship flying over a graveyard with a laser light flashing over the graves.
It was fucking creepy!
Here is what Wiki says
Endings:
There are two versions of the film's ending. The version tagged onto the theatric and subsequent VHS release ends with Chris and Cynthia watching the sorority house burn down when the dead dog returns. The scene ends when the dog opens its mouth and a slug jumps out at the camera (and presumably infecting Cynthia).
This was not what Dekker intended, however. The ending he wanted: the scene of Chris and Cynthia standing in front of the burning sorority house moves to the street where cop cars race down the street. We then see the charred and zombified Cameron shuffling down the street when he suddenly stops and falls to the ground where the slugs scamper out and head into a cemetery. However, the spaceship from the beginning of the film has returned with the aliens intending to retrieve their experiment.
The latter ending wound up never making it when Dekker made the admitted mistake of showing it to the studio before the effects were done. Not impressed with what they saw, they requested a different ending that became a cheap scare. Dekker's original ending has been seen in some television broadcast versions of the film, and is available on bootleg DVD copies being sold on eBay.

Fred Dekker obviously got this version out at least once. Has anyone else seen it? Is it available on any dvd editions?
