Suzy, do you know anything about... witches?

Gorgeous Synapse cover art by Malleus.

Even if this year has managed to suck in almost every way possible, it has excelled in at least one respect: the salvaging of Dario Argento's Italian horror classic Suspiria! Not only is Synapse's painstaking 4K restoration being unleashed on the world at this very moment, but just a few months ago a pristine, uncut 35mm print was found in a defunct Chicago theater. The print is currently touring various art houses throughout the country. Check it out if you can--Suspiria is a movie that needs to be seen a theater to appreciate its full glory. I saw the film print in July and was blown away by how great it looks and sounds. That eye-popping Argento color palette, the Goblin soundtrack, and the (gag) attic full of maggots just doesn't have the same effect on a TV screen.

In addition to two great new ways to see Suspiria as it should be seen, Argento's house band Goblin is on tour, too! I have tickets to see them in November and can't wait. They've been on again/off again since the 70s, but lately they've been mostly on, so catch them if you can! With all the love Suspiria has been getting lately, surely they'll be playing some of their classic material from that soundtrack. Until then, let us satisfy our witchy cravings with Goblin's spooky Suspiria theme.
