Suspiria: Limited Edition

Thanks, Dave for confirming the Suspiria covers. I can't even begin to tell you how many covers I have seen on the net. The Limited Edition (the one I will be getting of course) has the best cover. It's the image from the original video release and posters that were classic!

I do hope the disc will contain the original U.S. theatrical trailer which, though schlocky was sooo cool and very indicative of the promotional ideals of the time. I used to have an old video release with countless classic horror trailers on it... I watched it too much and it deteriorated. Basically, it was a woman sitting at a vanity reciting "Roses are red, violets are blue..." as she fixes her hair. She combs it, puts a flower in it (a blue iris, I believe.... ingenius huh?) and then when the final phrase of the rhyme comes it is twisted into something appropriatly demented and the woman turns around and she is a skeleton. The Suspiria logo fills the screen and it's pulsating hearts shaping the letters. Like I said, kinda schlocky but certainly a momento worthy of the discs.

I used to have a book that had photos of all the little gimicks the studios used to get people in the theatre. Such as little wrapped up red squares that were labeled as pieces of The Blob; buttons that said "I Survived The Exorcist;" and so on. I know there was something they did like that for Suspiria, but I can't remember what it was. The book was stolen from me, I could kill the creep that did that. Wouldn't it be cool if the limited edition had a reproduction of such a little gimick? Well, Anchor Bay... it's something to think about for future editions. lol
