Poster for the film “Suspiria” (1977)
If you haven’t already, please do yourself a favor and watch this Italian-Brazilian master of horror’s best known film. “Suspiria” is pretty mind-blowing. (i.e. great and weird.)
Interesting facts:
* Argento collaborated with George A. Romero on “Dawn of the Dead.”
* Argento’s 1996 film “The Stendhal Syndrome” was the first Italian film to use CGI.
* He directed an episode called “Jenifer” on Showtime’s Masters of Horror.
* Argento has contributed to the development of the survival horror video game Dead Space, and also in the dubbing of the character “Dr. Kyne” in the game’s Italian version.
* Daughter Asia Argento is an actress and director.

When I read about this show a few days ago, I didn’t get the impression that it was necessarily gonna have anything to do with Giallo and/or Argento, so this is great news!
