The House with Laughing Windows

The House with Laughing Windows

Director Pupi Avati's legendary cult horror masterpiece - a slow-burn nightmare of art, obsession, and madness – is finally presented in its definitive form as the filmmakers intended. Uncut, complete, and restored under the supervision of the then Assistant Director, Cesare Bastelli, and with further grading enhancement appraised by Pupi Avati. This definitive release with new colour grading - for HDR & Dolby Vision Encodes (Region-Free) - made from 4K Restored camera negative, also features an in-depth interview with Director Avati, as well as key cast and crew featurettes by genre specialist Federico Caddeo of Freakorama. A specially commissioned book by horror authority Kim Newman, poster + art cards complete this Numbered Collector’s Special Edition…

When art restorer Stefano (Capolicchio) arrives in a decaying village to revive a fresco of Saint Sebastian, he uncovers a sinister mystery tied to the painter’s gruesome death and a community desperate to keep its secrets buried.

Wrapped in a misty, dreamlike atmosphere and driven by an ominous score, Avati trades gore for atmosphere, weaving mist-choked landscapes, whispered warnings, and rising paranoia into one of Italian horror’s most unsettling achievements. Critics hail it as “a giallo essential” and “a masterwork of atmospheric horror,” sharpened further by this new 4K HDR – Dolby Vision colour grading made from the 4K restoration of the original camera negative.

Step inside The House with Laughing Windows… and let its shadows linger. This definitive new edition joins Shameless’ growing library of Italian cult restorations.
