Suspiria (1977)
This horror film from 1977 is called "Suspiria," directed by Dario Argento, and starring Jessica Harper, Stefania Casini, Flavio Bucci, Udo Kier and Joan Bennett.
Made with rich blood colours, the film is about a lavish dancing school hiding a dark secret. A strange mystery surrounds a former dead student. The story follows a new student from New York as she arrives to the mysterious Munich dancing school. She soon becomes dazed and can't perform in any of the dance lessons, so has to stay in bed. Other students end up full of maggots. A horror movie that feels like watching a fairytale, and it has dreamlike sets and a deep sense of vulnerability. The most unforgettable thing of all about this film is the music score by Goblin.
I rate this 9/10.
Are there that many shocks? Definately yes.

Halloween the darkest holiday
The season of Halloween, also called Samhain by most pagans and historians, is here. It happens after the Autumn equinox and when the clocks are moved back one hour in a lot of countries. The moon phase this year for Halloween is the last quarter phase, but we experienced a Blood Moon last week. Interesting also is when the visible moon passes the Manger or Beehive Star Cluster, which is in the Cancer constellation.
Often we hear that Halloween is a time when the veil is lowered. There is a very old tradition worldwide in regards to this season being all about spirits and the paranormal. Kids have been dressing up in costumes for Halloween for hundreds of years. Today it's evolved as a fun event while in days passed, it was just the same but their costumes were a lot more freaky.
70 Vintage costumes that were creepy!
Enjoy looking at those ghastly costumes.

The Evil
For a gloomy night, "The Evil" is perfect to watch.
This 1978 horror film, directed by Gus Trikonis and stars Richard Crenna, Joanna Pettet, Andrew Prine and Cassie Yates, is low budget and delivers. A couple buy a large old house with a few creepy gargoyle heads and a statue in the yard. It doesn't seem like much until hauntings begin. There is a basement with a locked trap door, certain to be the culprit behind unpleasant sulphur smells and a bad feeling. Friends arrive to fix the crumbling house but there is a ghost trying to warn them, and a dog that goes missing. Before long, the house turns upon everyone.
This film is atmospheric with the sounds of thunder and lightning. Although classed as a Horror, it comes across to me as a supernatural mystery thriller.
I rate this 8/10.
What was amusing: Wait for it.
