In this episode, we dive deep into two of the most haunting and visually stunning horror films of the modern and classic eras — Dario Argento’s technicolor nightmare Suspiria (1977) and Robert Eggers’ stark, puritanical descent The Witch (2015). Though separated by nearly four decades, both films conjure worlds where feminine power, isolation, and the supernatural blur the lines between liberation and damnation.
We’ll explore how Argento’s kaleidoscopic use of color, music, and surrealism contrasts with Eggers’ austere realism and historical authenticity — yet how both filmmakers arrive at similar questions about faith, witchcraft, and the price of freedom.
Join us as we trace the evolution of cinematic witchcraft — from Argento’s baroque terror to Eggers’ folkloric dread — and uncover why both films remain timeless studies in fear, femininity, and rebirth.__________________________
