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

    • 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

Regarding Multi Region players

Multiregionmagicdvd can mod your current player for about £100. You can get cheaper players that are all region as well without breaking the banking

Get it chipped and the world is your oyster

Or as Shia would say......

Yep. Not sure how people are quoting £350 for a multi region player in the UK. MRM's current cheapest is £169 and I picked mine up much cheaper than that from there. If you're paying over £50 for a steelbook then that shouldn't be a problem for you.

Note that I edited my post shortly after originally posting to say I'd found some for £120+ on the likes of eBay. Anyway, let's get back to the topic of the Steelbook release now.

Someone please explain to me why none of you who complain about regions don't just buy an all-region player, which can be purchased for as little as the cost of two limited edition steelbooks. I honestly can't fathom this.

Give me some model numbers of all region players that have built in 5.1 speaker inputs.
 
Took the plunge...

Huge congrats to @digitalbabe @Wreck @tridon @apsmith21

I'm not a massive horror fan (and Dario's Horror films are the real deal) but I'm proud to support the great work HDN do. These look great and hopefully with the success of these it will lead to other equally stunning Steelbooks.

Hope after tonight the HDN crew pop the champagne and party like a Ninja :LOL:
Just hope its third time lucky for me to get Zombieland.

P.S. If other Ninja's are on the fence, If you can afford to, support the site you love.
Thank you for that amazing support-we all appreciate it so much! Our 3 artists did a tremendous job putting their own unique spin on these gorgeous editions, and Synpase created a fun and fitting case for their film. It's gloss by the way and has awesome blood spatter inside (saw advance sample) ;)

I second what DB just said. As a stock image, it may not look the best, but in-hand, it's definitely a nice SteelBook. It's glossy and shiny and the inside is just awesome! Trust me... this is one great package.
 
The art cards that come with the Aseo look the best I think now I've seen this photo, also loving the look of that Aseo package now,
I really need to make a desicion in the next few hours but not sure what one out of those 2 to go for.
I personally think Aseo's is the best looking package overall (slip + art cards + coin) and I especially love how those art cards make a complete image once they're lined up together. There's no wrong choice though bud... maybe go for whichever one you immediately felt drawn to. :thumbs:
 
#teamaseo or #teamdarkinker?

Both editions are in our specially created SILVER package-Very few Silver level packages left ninjas! shop.hidefninja.com!

Well I was drawn to the inker originally but after seeing the mock photo at the booth i think the Aseo might be better (slip and cards but the inker has the better coin IMO)

Yeah, that Inker coin does look really cool with both the black and red. It's a tough decision, that's for sure! I ended up going for two in the end (Aseo and Quilt) as I couldn't decide lol... it means I'm going to have to cancel other pre-orders to afford them both, but I know it'll be worth it. :D

Going through the purge now so I can make an order (and sell a few things lol)

24 hours later and still can't make my sodding mind up. Clearly if I had the cash I would go for both inker and Aseo but I'm swaying more towards the Aseo now. The actual mock up at the booth behind the glass looks really good and bright for the Aseo and I thought the inker would look brighter due to the beauty shot but it looks a little darker (maybe the lighting but that would mean the Aseo is even brighter !) ohhh my god this is tough. Lol
