I believe it definitely had some green tint / elements to it. Just not quite the "green wash" it got later on.

I don't necessarily trust my memory from 20 years ago, but I do recall both the initial VHS release and the DVD version I got a couple years later both having the green tint. It's one of the things that floored me as an impressionable teenager.

Same.

For the unfamiliar, I can understand ... but as a fan, I can't believe this fact is even in question.

Yes, I think the second release just amped that effect up and added it to more scenes.
