The Most BEAUTIFUL Horror Film Ever Made - Revisited 50 Years Later | SUSPIRIA (1977)
Suspiria is one of the most beautiful and unsettling horror films ever made. Dario Argento’s 1977 masterpiece drenches witchcraft in light and color, turning a simple story about a dance academy into a surreal nightmare of sound, architecture, and occult energy.
In this episode, MonteCristo, Thorin, and Richard Lewis close out Four Play’s Occult Horror Arc by examining how Suspiria reshaped the language of horror cinema. From Goblin’s legendary score to Argento’s impossible lighting, they explore why this film’s dreamlike atmosphere endures nearly fifty years later and whether its magic still holds up in 2025.
They also discuss the legacy of Italian auteur Dario Argento, the power of color as horror, and how Suspiria’s female hierarchy and dream logic differ from modern horror storytelling. Finally, the hosts announce their next series: the Robert Redford Arc, celebrating the career of one of cinema’s most charismatic and influential figures.
