Official Synapse Press Release/Info on Disc/Extras:

A 3-DISC (BLU-RAY, DVD & CD) LIMITED STEELBOOK™ EDITION OF DARIO ARGENTO’S HORROR CLASSIC! ONLY 3000 UNITS PRODUCED!
Italian terror master Dario Argento elevates the Giallo genre to new heights with 1982’s TENEBRAE, a darkly humorous, futuristic and notoriously grisly horror film many consider to be one of his finest works.

American mystery author Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa) comes to Italy to promote his newest novel, TENEBRAE. Unfortunately, a razor-wielding serial killer is on the loose, taunting Neal and murdering those around him in gruesome fashion just like the character in his novel. As the mystery surrounding the killings spirals out of control, Neal investigates the crimes on his own, leading to a mind-bending, genre-twisting conclusion that will leave you breathless!

This all-new 1080p high-definition release of TENEBRAE is presented here, for the FIRST TIME EVER, with rare English insert shots never-before-seen on any optical disc release! Starring John Saxon (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET), Daria Nicolodi (Dario Argento’s PHENOMENA) and John Steiner (CALIGULA), this slasher-horror classic also features an amazing music score from Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli and Massimo Morante (formerly of Italian progressive-rock band, Goblin).

RAZOR-SHARP SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE:


    • All-new Synapse Films supervised color correction and restoration of a 1080p scan from original uncut negative elements, presented in the original aspect ratio of 1.85:1
    • Dual English and Italian language options with newly-translated English subtitle tracks for both
    • Audio commentary track featuring film critic and Argento scholar, Maitland McDonagh
    • Original international trailer
    • Booklet containing liner notes by Derek Botelho, author of THE ARGENTO SYNDROME, with additional technical notes by Vincent Pereira and Don May, Jr.
    • Chapter Selections
    • Collectible Steelbook™ Packaging by Silver Ferox Design
SPECIAL FEATURES EXCLUSIVE TO THE BLU-RAY DISC INCLUDE:



    • Rare high-definition 1080p English sequence insert shots, playable within the film via seamless branching
    • Feature-length in-depth documentary, YELLOW FEVER: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE GIALLO by High Rising Productions, chronicling the giallo film genre from its beginnings as early 20th century crime fiction, to its later influences on the modern slasher film genre. Featuring interviews with Dario Argento, Umberto Lenzi, Luigi Cozzi, Lamberto Bava, Richard Stanley, and more!
    • Original UNSANE (U.S. version of TENEBRAE) end credits sequence
    • Alternate opening credits sequence
    • Japanese SHADOW theatrical trailer
INCLUDES A BONUS COMPACT DISC (19 Tracks) featuring an all-new 2015 remaster of the TENEBRAE motion picture soundtrack, containing additional tracks not included on the original 1982 album.

All three look good to me, Dark Inker is my choice though. Wish I could have all the artcards without having to buy a tripack.
Price is a bit too much, only ordered today because I was fortunate enough to have a good balance in my paypal account .
Will wait for a list of extras before I decide whether or not to sell off my Arrow slipcase edition.

I'm surprised I'm not seeing more comments on the included soundtrack CD??? Any fan of Tenebrae or Argento in general knows that the soundtrack for this film is amazing! Goblin rules!
Also, for those who don't know, Synapse may take forever to release their titles but they don't mess around with picture/sound quality. They usually produce top-notch restorations.

Excellent looking package, a great start for HDN'S Black Label Series :thumbs:

Wanted to pass on this as it is pricey and sadly region-locked. But, the "only 7 left" message for my favorite design (Dark Inker) was too much for me to handle after other editions were already sold out.
So, I caved in and bought me one of these amazing editions. Congrats HDN for a design that made me trigger-itchy until my will broke. :D:wacky:
Now, it reads "only 6 left". :naughty:
 
@digitalbabe do you know how much roughly one single copy will be to the UK?

Really interested in the dark inker but id need to know shipping prices before committing to it (tight budget in afraid)
 
Hey @Flloydo this is scheduled to be ready in Spring so since shipping will be billed later (we have no way of knowing of how heavy these will be once complete, and we want to stay fair), you have time. It costs about $16.16 for 1 standard weight Steelbook. But with cards, coins etc these will be heavier, so I honestly can't be accurate this far in advance.

Thanks pal for this, it made me finally order one too (also the Dark Inker design, my favourite). ;) It would have sucked if I had missed this Black Label Exclusive #1, it's going to be a magnificent steelbook series I hope... and it's from our hardworking people of HDN, what's there to not like! :thumbs: As a horror fan and a steelbook collector this kind of releases are sweet & rare treats, hopefully not as rare as before because now we have Black Label.

@digitalbabe @apsmith21 @Wreck @Snollygoster & Synapse Films folk & everyone else, this is a terrific start and I truly appreciate your effort on making this happen. Long Live Ninjas!

Wow thanks so much! :thumbs:
 
Great to see more unique HDN releases, excellent job to everyone involved!
This reminds me I actually got the Arrow Video steelbook release a while ago, but haven't even got round to watching the film yet. :dunno:

Looking forward to seeing what releases come next from HDN in the future :thumbs:

cmon @Flloydo ya know u want to :naughty:.. #teamdarkinker


Lol,

I just had to have a hard think and although I don't want to miss any HDN exclusives I think I will have to with this one. Looked at my list of what's coming out and I still need to pay for the Birdman GB and i already paid for the HDN zombieland exclusive a few days ago otherwise I would of gone for it.
Sorry HDN, will have to give this a miss but if more go up when they start shipping and I have the funds then I'll jump on it

First off wanted to say Awesome job to @Wreck and everybody involved with putting this amazing steelbooks together. I never seen this movie, so at first it was a pass for me. Then i got to thinking, i have to support HDN, and was going for the Silver pack as the the pother were sold out. But in the end it was too expensive for me at the moment, totally worth it though. :) With that said i did put in an order for the Dark Inker version. Really like Quiltface, but was already sold out, so went with the next best thing. Have to support HDN!
