Dario Argento’s SUSPIRIA 4k Restoration Midnights This Weekend at The Moolah – ‘Late Night Grindhouse’

“Bad luck isn’t brought by broken mirrors, but by broken minds”


Th 4k restoration of Dario Argento’s SUSPIRIA screens Midnights this weekend (September 15th and 16th) at The Moolah Theater and Lounge (3821 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63108) as part of  Destroy the Brain’s monthly Late Night Grindhouse film series.


Director Dario Argento redefined horror in 1977 with his masterpiece SUSPIRIA, the CITIZEN KANE of Italian cinema, a Brother’s Grimm Fairy Tale of outrageously nightmarish proportions. Jessica Harper plays Suzy, an American ballet student, studying at an exclusive dance academy in the Black Forest of Germany. After one of the students and her friend are hideously murdered in the first of Argento’s breath-catching set-piece killings, Suzy discovers that the academy has a bizarre history and, as the body count rises, she gets involved in a hideous labyrinth of murder, black magic and madness.I first saw SUSPIRIA at the 66 Drive-In in Crestwood (double-billed with HOUSE ON SKULL MOUNTAIN) when it was a new movie on my 16th birthday, the day I got my driver’s license. I didn’t even know who Dario Argento was at the time but I can still remember the thunder and lightning, the flamboyant colors, the awesome set-design, and the strong, pounding score by Goblin. Driven by a twisted internal logic, SUSPIRIA has the inherent structure of madness and it would be madness indeed if you were to pass up the chance to see it on the big screen. The guys at Destroy the Brain.com are giving you that opportunity this weekend. Thank them. SUSPIRIA plays this weekend (September 15th and 16th) as part of their Late Night Grindhouse film series at St. Louis’ fabulous Moolah Theater and Lounge (3821 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63108). The pre-show begins at 11:30 and the movie at midnight
