OVERALL: Draw

- US Arrow 2018 LE features a new 4K master, both Italian and English soundtracks, and many extras,
- US Anchor Bay/Blue Underground have only a few extras, but offer English and Italian stereo soundtracks (note the "Tales of the Cat" featurette seems exclusive... however, it may be identical to the "interviews" on the German disc. This is currently unconfirmed),
- The German edition has many different extras, but no Italian audio,
- The French edition has some exclusive extras, but no English audio,
- The Italian edition has an additional Italian 5.1 track, but no English audio,
- The Australian Umbrella release has a general Dario Argento documentary (available elsewhere), but no Italian audio.

Also note:
- the US "Slasher Collection" from Diamond has a 5.1 English soundtrack, but is reframed at 1.33:1, and thus should be avoided.
- R2 UK by Platinum has an exclusive featurette, but is reframed at 2.14:1, and thus, should be avoided.
