Aside being further censored compared to the Japanese Theatrical Version, it also deleted other scenes, such as all sequences between Peter and Roger's first meeting with Stephen and Fran and their arrival at the mall, shortening the runtime to approximately 90 minutes. All three versions have been made available on Anchor Bay's DVD box set, the Japanese Happinet/Stingray Blu-Ray box set, and Arrow's UK Blu-Ray box set.Ī unique, Japanese-dubbed variant of the Argento cut, nicknamed the "Suspiria version", was broadcast on TV Tokyo in October 1980. It contains many extended scenes and the soundtrack is almost entirely library tracks. It was assembled to premiere at the 1978 Cannes Film Festival and is something of a workprint. The Extended Version or Cannes Film Festival Version runs 139 minutes (this version was erroneously called the 'director's cut' when Elite Entertainment released it on laserdisc). It removes several scenes, mostly anything humorous, emphasizing the horror and action, and has more extensive use of the Goblin music.
Dario Argento's cut, released in Italy under the title ZOMBI, and also known as the European Version, runs 118 minutes. It contains a mix of both Goblin's soundtrack and several library tracks. Romero considers his definitive cut of the film, runs 127 minutes and was the version released in American theaters in 1979. There are three main versions of the film.
