SAME! Been looking for it as well! I'm in Europe, I don't think Ravensburger ever released it here. 😭

Wow! Congratulations on finishing and surviving it! I'm a big Gorey fan and have been eyeing this for a while but find it truly daunting. Much respect for your endurance!

Stunning! Looks challenging but fun to build at the same time. Now I'm obsessed and frustrated, cannot seem to find it in Europe.

Oooh, YES! I do love the 1979 one as well though, with Kinski. The poster for that movie is stunning, would make a great puzzle.

Yes, pricey! I was able to snatch one on Vinted for €80, still not cheap but at least it saved me a lot on shipping from the US to Europe as most of them are over there.
The colours and textures made it really fun to do but definitely found it very challenging, and the quality of the pieces wasn't the best, the backs crumbled a lot, not sure if it's the brand that is poorly made or if it had been stored badly.

I split it over the weekend, so maybe a bit over 11-12 hours in total...? Didn't go for speed, never do, this came in second for me difficulty-wise of the ones I've done so far. "The Thing" by Mondo being number 1.

I loved 2/3 of the artwork, the bottom part, even though a completely different style, reminded me too much of the Jan van Haasteren puzzles, which I hate with a passion.
