This week, we step into the dance academy and compare two radically different nightmares: Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977) and Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria (2018). Same premise, same title — completely different approaches to horror.

We break down how Argento’s original became a technicolor fever dream of sound, style, and supernatural menace, while the 2018 remake transforms the story into a slow-burn exploration of trauma, power, and political horror. From neon lighting and Goblin’s iconic score to muted palettes and oppressive dread, these films feel less like remake and original and more like alternate realities.

Is one version definitively better, or do they succeed in entirely different ways? We discuss atmosphere, performances, themes, and why Suspiria remains one of the most fascinating examples of how horror can be reimagined without losing its soul.

Today we are joined by Heather Stewart of The Revisionist Almanac!
