I'm loving how much Dario Argento's classic SUSPIRIA has been making news the last few months. First, we got news that Synapse was releasing the film in 4K on Blu-ray, and then we heard a rare 35mm print of the film had been found and will be touring the country.

And then there is, of, course, the SUSPIRIA remake coming soon.

Today's news is in regards to Synapses' Suspiria – 40th Anniversary Synapse Exclusive 4K Remaster Limited Edition Two-Disc Blu-ray + CD Steelbook. Of which only 6,000 copies have produced.

Turns out, while the disc still does not have a set release date, Synapse has made the limited edition available for pre-order! I know I'll be picking up a copy. What about you?

Below you can find all the details on the release and then make sure to hit us up and let us know how excited you are for this new SUSPIRIA 4K release on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!

SUSPIRIA 40TH ANNIVERSARY 4K REMASTER rundown:

Dario Argento’s masterpiece of horror comes to home video from Synapse Films in an exclusive new 4K restoration from the original uncut, uncensored 35mm Italian camera negative and with the original 4.0 English surround sound, for the first time EVER! Painstakingly restored over the past three years, Synapse Films has created the ultimate special edition of SUSPIRIA with the supervision and approval of the film’s Director of Photography, Luciano Tovoli, and loaded with a separate Blu-ray disc of amazing extras! SUSPIRIA is presented in its original glory for its 40th Anniversary!

The set will include two Blu-rays + 1 CD. The film will be on its own Blu-ray disc, to maximize the quality for both picture and sound, with most extra features being on a separate Blu-ray. The set will be Region A locked.

Synapse Films is only accepting orders for shipping within North America. Those of you looking to purchase this item outside of North America can contact www.diabolikdvd.com.

This is an advance pre-order for the Exclusive Synapse Films Limited Steelbook of our new restoration of SUSPIRIA. This special edition is limited to a print run of only 6000 units. The info below is very early, and final extras have not been finalized. We believe this item may sell quite a bit faster than our previous Steelbook releases, so we wanted those who were interested to be able to “lock-in” their pre-order now. We DO NOT yet have a final street date, but we fully expect the Limited Steelbook to be released before the end of the year for the 40th Anniversary. Our goal is to start shipping in mid-late November, but this is subject to change. As the extras and final specs come in, we will update this website listing accordingly.
