Tenebrae marked Dario Argento’s return to the Italian Giallo subgenre and is considered one of his best films by many. American author Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa) finds himself involved in a search for a serial killer – inspired by his novel – whilst in Rome on a promotional tour. A scarce format for the film, the UK Quad shows Renato Casarao’s haunting artwork of a murdered woman but was adapted by London-based studio Graffiti Productions. Casarao’s original design showed a bloody cut on her throat. However, this was deemed too graphic for the British market, so an unknown artist painted a red bow over it.
