I've always been dubious of this assertion, even though director Jacques Tourneur made it himself.
Judging by the look of the film itself, it seems that it was always intended to show the long-shots of the demon -- it seems very well integrated into the film.
What looks as if it was added at the last minute were the three terrible closeups of the demon puppet head drooling at the camera. That footage I believe was forced on Tourneur by Chester.
