Suspiria (1977)
Dario Argento’s masterpiece written by his then wife Daria Nicolodi and Argento himself, the story centres around the first of the three mothers trilogy which would continue the story in the films Inferno and Sins of the Mother.
The film would need to be cut by eight minutes due to violence to get a hard “R” rating. The film has since been released with all scenes fully implemented in an uncut format. Known to be a cornucopia for the eyes and ears though its use of sound and colour, Suspiria would take horror to a whole new level using these two devices to tell a story.
The film stars Jessica Harper, Stefania Casini, Udo Kier and Joan Bennett (Dark Shadows) in her last film role.
The Witch (2015)
Written and directed by Robert Eggers in his first debut, The Witch is a period supernatural film which tells the story of a family in the 1600’s living on their own rife with their own superstitions.
The film was shot using only natural light and candles given the film its own unique look. The film would also adapt using 1600’s English language and shooting in a very remote are in Canada to give it credence to the subject material.
The film starred Anya Taylor Joy, Ralph Ineson and Kate Dickens and would go on to win numerous awards and become an instant horror classic within its own right.
We are joined by our special guest co-host Robert Kirby (award winning cartoonist of the classic series Curbside) and Tristan Drue Rogers, author of the new novel Brothers of Blood.
