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.
