See You at Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror Convention!

The Synapse team is hitting the road this August, and we couldn't be more excited to bring our latest releases, exclusive merchandise, and passion for cult cinema preservation directly to you. Mark your calendars: August 1-3, 2025, we'll be stationed at Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror Convention with a booth packed full of everything that makes horror collecting special.

What We're Bringing to Chicago

You know we don't do anything halfway. Our booth will be stocked with our latest 4K UHD releases, limited edition steelbooks, and those hard-to-find gems that make collectors' hearts race. Whether you're hunting for that elusive title to complete your collection or discovering Synapse for the first time, we'll have something that'll make the trip worthwhile.

Expect to see our recent releases including Trick or Treat, Tenebrae, Demons and Demons 2 in stunning 4K UHD, plus our meticulously restored classics that showcase why proper film preservation matters. If the stars align by the time we leave, we MIGHT just have a new surprise 4K title on the table before it's solicited anywhere else! You'll have to visit the table to find out! We're also bringing exclusive convention merchandise that you won't find anywhere else – perfect for adding that extra something special to your horror memorabilia collection.

Behind the Scenes with the Synapse Team

This isn't just about sales – it's about connecting with the community that keeps cult cinema alive. Members of our team will be on hand throughout the weekend to chat about our restoration processes, upcoming releases, and the challenges of preserving underground cinema in an increasingly digital world. Got questions about our 4K mastering process? Curious about how we decide which titles get the full collector's treatment? We love talking shop with fellow genre enthusiasts.
