Suspiria (1977): "Technicolor Nightmare" ft. Vannah Taylor

Should we have saved Suspiria (1977) for pride month? Rumor on the street is that this is a low-key lesbian film... which actually makes a lot of sense when you consider that, in a way, maybe all witch movies are. But while it doesn't actually include any footage of women kissing, Dario Argento's masterpiece is still a visual delight. Just peep all the incredible architecture and fashion! That's not to say that this flick is all (technicolor) flash, no substance. There's a lot to unpack here, which is why we asked Vannah Taylor — writer, ballerina, and fellow horror podcaster — to join us as we break down everything from the classic fairytale references to the pop culture impact.
