Happy Halloween, everyone! And to celebrate the horrorful holidays, Chris looks back at a giallo slasher that he fatefully, accidentally saw the last ten minutes of when he was no older than nine, scarring him for decades: Dario Argento's TENEBRAE. Until last year, Chris didn't even know which movie containing the handful of harrowing images that haunted his youth. But now he does, and you get to join him in the torment.
Two Philipstown residents want to scare you Sam Zimmerman loves Halloween. He really, really loves it. As the senior vice president of programming and acquisitions for Shudder, AMC Networks' streaming service, he has seen any frightening film you can mention - that's his job. It's also now a central part of his life at home. In February, he and his wife and their two young sons moved to Parrott Street in Cold Spring, the heart of the village's annual trick-or-treating ritual. Zimmerman likely didn't realize it, but another fright aficionado, Tore Knos, was already in place in Philipstown. In April, The New York Times called Knos' 2024 film, Snakeeater, one of "five horror films to stream now." Although horror is booming at the box office, and there are seemingly unlimited viewing options online, Zimmerman says he most enjoys introducing viewers to sub-genres like giallo (Italian horror from the 1970s, such as films by Dario Argento) or folk horror, such as The Wicker Man (1973) and Midsommar (2019). When Shudder launched, there weren't many boutique streaming services. As VP of programming, Zimmerman helps create collections so viewers "don't spend all their time browsing; they find things they want to watch and care about and explore within the genre. "You can continuously come up with different nooks and crannies," he says. "It's fun to create pathways, to be able to say, 'Here are five or 10 films within this genre,' with some classics and some undiscovered gems. You'll get a good sense of the hallmarks and tropes." The Washington Post last year called Zimmerman "the man who picks your nightmares." Zimmerman grew up in the Bronx and says he was probably too young when he became a horror fan, "but I couldn't help it." He read the Goosebumps series, as well as books and stories by Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. "I remember my dad showing me An American Werewolf in London and my grandmother buying me Psycho," he says. In 2004, while he was in high school, his mother, stepfather and two sisters moved to Cold Spring. He would visit often, and the family hit Parrott Street at Halloween. At SUNY Purchase, Zimmerman majored in cinema studies and interned in New York City at Fangoria. "I stuck around the office until they hired me," he says. "I started going to film festivals and understood my interest was in programming, development, acquisition and production." In 2014, he became a consultant to the fledgling Shudder, then joined full-time. His focus initially was on building the catalog by licensing classic and cult films. "There were all these films that, at the time, hadn't streamed," he recalls. "I knew this was our opportunity to showcase movies that had a reputation or had been celebrated but that most people hadn't been able to see." One example: Andrzej Zulawski's Possession (1981), which had limited home video distribution. In 2016, Shudder began producing new films. Some highlights: Host, which was made quickly during the pandemic, about teens who conduct a Zoom seance (what could go wrong?), A Violent Nature ("something of an art house reinvention of what a slasher film is") and Oddity, an Irish film about a blind medium. "In some ways, horror is one of the oldest forms of storytelling," Zimmerman says. "There have always been scary stories and cautionary tales, so there's something primal there. Even intellectual horror movies are trading on instinct and provocation. They reflect our anxieties at any given moment. But they're also fun, with that satisfaction of getting a thrill." When Tore Knos needed moody, misty footage for Snakeeater, which is available on Amazon Prime, he didn't have to go far. Much of the film was set in a shadowy New York City. But he realized, during editing, that he needed a "pillow shot" to create atmosphere. "I needed a shot looking up into the fog," he recalls. "One day it was super foggy, so I drove under the Bear Mountain Bridge and got a great shot." While re...

We close out our Halloween Hootenanny series of all Bring Me The Axe episodes all October with an episode dedicated to a listener who really made our year. This year's series caps off with a look at the gloriously frantic, unfocused shit show that is Dario Argento's Phenomena. Falling very early in the acting career of American movie star, Jennifer Connelly, it's kind of amazing that she finished this production and continued to act given that her finger was literally separated from her body thanks to an angry monkey that also actually slashed up the face of Argento's soon-to-be ex-wife, Daria Nicolodi. You have Donald Pleasance putting on a clinic for phoning it in and yet the entire movie manages to be charming and extremely enjoyable, one of Argento's most Freudian movies, for good or for bad.When Jennifer, the daughter of an American movie star is shipped off to a Swiss school for girls she lands there at the worst possible time as a murderer is on the loose killing young women. Lucky for her, she has the incredible power to speak to and command insects and she uses this marvelous ability to crack the case since the cops are doing fuck-all to solve it, themselves. Along the way she teams up with a wheelchair-bound entomologist and his helper monkey to get to the bottom of things.Join the Bring Me The Axe Discord: https://discord.gg/snkxuxzJSupport Bring Me The Axe! on Patreon:https://patreon.com/bringmetheaxepodBuy Bring Me The Axe merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/
Uno scrittore italo americano, in vacanza a Roma è casualmente testimone e sventa un tentativo di omicidio ai danni di un'avvenente e ricca gallerista.Sarà nel mirino della polizia, che lo considererà inizialmente un sospettato e soprattutto nelle mire di un serial killer che ha già ucciso e che resta ancora senza volto.Quando il maestro era veramente il maestro. In questo film d'esordio, Argento dimostra grandissimo estro, una magnifica creatività e soprattutto una padronanza della macchina da presa con cui mantiene alta la tensione dall'inizio alla fine, realizzando una pellicola tra le più belle del cinema italiano di genere, che ha ancora il suo mirabile lustro.Con Tony Musante i rapporto non erano proprio idilliaci, ma c'è anche un bravissimo Enrico Maria Salerno e Mario Adorf, protagonista di una scena con i gatti, che animalisti scansateve proprio!Da recuperare assolutamente se non l'avete mai visto. Siamo più dalle parti del thriller che dell'horror vero e proprio, ma la sensazione di inquietudine è ancora palpabile, grazie anche alla colonna sonora del leggendario Morricone.

Father Quirk returns for more Halloween movie talk! This week we're diving into two eerie explorations of cinematic horror: Dario Argento's Deep Red (1975) and Peter Strickland's Berberian Sound Studio (2012). From giallo blood and stylized murder to the unsettling hum of sound design gone mad, we're talking atmosphere, artistry, and the strange beauty of fear on film.
Jackie and Greg enter the candy-colored nightmare of Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA from 1977. Topics of discussion include the film's fairy tale aesthetic, when style makes up for lack of substance, Argento's mastery of the genre, and whether they think it's a giallo or not.#211 on Sight & Sound's 2022 "The Greatest Films of All Time" list. https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out on Instagram: instagram.com/sceneandheardpodCheck us out at our official website: sceneandheardpod.comGraphic Design: Molly PintoMusic: Andrew CoxEditing: Greg KleinschmidtScream and Cry - Horror Movie Review on Magnolia Selects and Monsters and NightmaresGet in touch at hello@sceneandheardpod.comSupport the showSupport the show on Patreon: patreon.com/SceneandHeardPodorSubscribe just to get access to our bonus episodes: buzzsprout.com/1905508/subscribe

¡Ya llegó nuestro especial de HALLOWEEN, remaker! No lo habías pedido, ni tampoco lo necesitabas, pero aquí está: recurrente e insistente como los insectos en verano. Esta vez nos hacemos los valientes y nos dejamos rodear por moscas, avispas, cucarachas y gusanos , para descender por el túnel de la locura tras un Dario Argento desatado. Phenomena (1985) es una de esas películas que no deja indiferente a nadie. Más allá de su enjambre de bichos, encontramos a una jovencísima Jennifer Connelly, a un Donald Pleasence de vuelta de todo… y a un chimpancé inquietante y misterioso, como era de rigor en los 80. El internado donde transcurre la historia es tan estricto como ineficaz, incapaz de evitar que sus alumnas mueran a manos de un misterioso asesino. Solo “la Jenny” parece intuir algo entre sueños, arrastrada por su sonambulismo —del que no la despiertan ni los acordes y martilleos de Motörhead o Iron Maiden. Todo esto y más lo analizamos en este especial de Halloween, en compañía del ilustrado highlander Juan Luis Daza, con el que también debatiremos si Phenomena es o no un Giallo , analizando el papel de esta película en la trayectoria de Argento. El cromosómico Javi García y el insectoide Óscar Cabrera se sumergen en los delirios del maestro Argento bajo la batuta del videoclubsero Juan Pablo Molina, que dirige telepáticamente la operación. Te invitamos a delirar con nosotros, a meterte en la madriguera del conejo y dejarte hipnotizar por la magia (y el caos) del terror italiano de los 80.

On the seventeenth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister joins me in reviewing SUSPIRIA (2018), directed by Luca Guadagnino, from a script by David Kajganich and characters by Dario Argento and Daria Nicolodi. Set in 1977 Berlin amidst political turmoil, young American dancer, Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson) joins the prestigious Markos Dance Academy, unaware it is a front for a coven of witches divided over their secretive and sickly leader. As students disappear and Susie rises in rank under the influential Madame Blanc (Tilda Swinton), fellow dancer Sara (Mia Goth) and an elderly psychotherapist uncover the academy's terrifying rituals of sacrifice and power. In a shocking, bloody finale, Susie reveals herself as the true ancient witch, Mother Suspiriorum, claiming leadership of the coven and purging the false pretenders. The film clocks in at 2 h and 32 m, is rated R and we caught the film on Prime Video.

In this episode, we dive deep into two of the most haunting and visually stunning horror films of the modern and classic eras — Dario Argento's technicolor nightmare Suspiria (1977) and Robert Eggers' stark, puritanical descent The Witch (2015). Though separated by nearly four decades, both films conjure worlds where feminine power, isolation, and the supernatural blur the lines between liberation and damnation.We'll explore how Argento's kaleidoscopic use of color, music, and surrealism contrasts with Eggers' austere realism and historical authenticity — yet how both filmmakers arrive at similar questions about faith, witchcraft, and the price of freedom.Join us as we trace the evolution of cinematic witchcraft — from Argento's baroque terror to Eggers' folkloric dread — and uncover why both films remain timeless studies in fear, femininity, and rebirth.__________________________Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

The boys head to Italy and listen to some sweet grooves in this early slasher review!
Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Mike Thorn kick off SPOOKTOBER by discussing two different eras of largely faithful Stephen King adaptations: Mary Lambert's playful, colorful and yet still effectively upsetting and morbid realization of PET SEMATARY (1989) and Lawrence Kasdan's attempt at keeping a straight (expensive Hollywood production) face while King bizarrely remixes many of his career-long obsessions in the painkiller induced fever dream of DREAMCATCHER (2003). Next week's episode is a patron-exclusive bonus episode on two Italian legends: Dario Argento's DEEP RED (1975) and Lucio Fulci's THE PSYCHIC (1977), you can get access to that episode (and all past + future bonus episodes) by subscribing to our $5 tier on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sleazoidspodcast Intro // 00:00-12:22 PET SEMATARY // 12:22-1:20:30 DREAMCATCHER // 1:20:30-2:31:40 Outro // 2:31:40-2:35:38 All things Mike can be found at: https://mikethornwrites.com/ NEW SLEAZOIDS SHIRT + HAT: https://blackbeltcinema.ca/search?q=sleazoids&options%5Bprefix%5D=last WEBSITE: www.sleazoidspodcast.com/ Pod Twitter: twitter.com/sleazoidspod Pod Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/SLEAZOIDS/ Josh's Twitter: twitter.com/thejoshl Josh's Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/thejoshl Jamie's Twitter: twitter.com/jamiemilleracas Jamie's Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/jamiemiller
It's officially spooky on the pod, and the Opera Boys are back with another not opera movie. But this one is set in an opera house. Dario Argento made a little giallo film that is as dramatic as operas can be, but Jon still has a lot of questions.

Neil Marshall's Compulsion is not only a homage to the blood-soaked Italian giallo, but also a throwback to the kind of erotic thrillers that Hollywood churned out in the 1980s and 1990s - think Dario Argento meets Brian De Palma, Starring Anna-Maria Sieklucka, Charlotte Kirk and Zach McGowan, the Malta set pic is a twisty and turny thriller that throws in a lot of left turns - and it will keep you guessing until the end. Compulsion's writer-director, Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent), returns to the Movies In Focus podcast along with the film's star, Anna-Maria Sieklucka (365 Days, The Next 365 Days). They discuss the throwback nature of the film, filming a tale with such complex characterisation, Compulsion's pivotal - and very bloody - standout sequence and much, much more.

Demons, written and produced by the legendary Dario Argento comes a cult classic from the 1980s which has a badass soundtrack and it's one of the most interesting and strange films of the era. It has cool visuals and a fun story that is easy to follow and all around, it's a solid Italian horror film and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the genre. The interview is a little spotty due to the poor internet connection with Bettina; she joined from her home in the Italian Countryside (which looks spectacular, by the way – and I am jealous) – but she had so much to say about the film, her role, and what it was like to work with the legendary Dario Argento.
Simon and Richard unleash the first of their only time they recorded an episode of Dario Argento's Inferno (1980). Buckle up your witchy safety belts because it's going to be a ride of some bumpiness.

Today David Joshua Smith and Erin talk about the masterpiece that is this Dario Argento classic.
Box Office Pulp | Film Analysis, Movie Retrospectives, Commentary Tracks, Comedy, and More
Get ready to pour yourself a cocktail, put on an old opera record, and inject yourself with a chemical compound that stretches the bounds of death in a terrifying fusion of science and art, because the crew at Box Office Pulp is back on their wax bullshit with a commentary track for Sergio Stivaletti's Fulci-by-another-name fable, 1997's Wax Mask. The legendary special effects master responsible for the Demons franchise only ever directed a single feature, and this slasher by way of a giallo by way of a Wax Museum mystery has been unfairly forgotten by even the most stalwart horror faithfuls. Listen to the tale of Dario Argento's last boon to a dying frenemy, a museum owner driven by heartbreak to murder and mad science, and a dubbing track that descended into pure, unfiltered Italiano.So remove your mesh mask to reveal your wax mask to reveal your robot(?) skull by listening now!https://www.boxofficepulp.com/Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/appleListen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotifyListen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazonAll The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Follow on Twiter/X: https://x.com/BoxOfficePulp
HORROR WITH SIR. STURDY EP. 560 – BLOOD-STAINED PAGES: A TENEBRE TERROR TALE
In this week's episode, we're returning from our hiatus (Pye-atus?) with a bit of a switcheroo: instead of "Sinners" which we will get back to, I promise, we're talking shitty Italian horror and may well continue to do so for the next couple of weeks while our hearts are still so tender. It's the 1989 Michele Soavi vehicle "The Church." Special topics for your consideration include: the delights of a completely plotless Italian film, creeps being creepy, a PSA about butt plugs, and the concept of being a bit nicer to your 14 year old daughter at any point but especially when you're Dario Argento. We've done a million Italian movies, so just search the archives for Dario Argento or Lucio Fulci or Mario Bava and you're sure to be delighted. The regular lineup of links!

The Art of Pure Cinema: Hitchcock and His Imitators (Oxford University Press) is the first book-length study to examine the historical foundations and stylistic mechanics of pure cinema. Author Bruce Isaacs, Associate Professor of Film Studies and Director of the Film Studies Program at the University of Sydney, explores the potential of a philosophical and artistic approach most explicitly demonstrated by Hitchcock in his later films, beginning with Hitchcock's contact with the European avant-garde film movement in the mid-1920s. Tracing the evolution of a philosophy of pure cinema across Hitchcock's most experimental works - Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds, Marnie, and Frenzy - Isaacs rereads these works in a new and vital context. In addition to this historical account, the book presents the first examination of pure cinema as an integrated stylistics of mise en scène, montage, and sound design. The films of so-called Hitchcockian imitators like Mario Bava, Dario Argento, and Brian De Palma are also examined in light of a provocative claim: that the art of pure cinema is only fully realized after Hitchcock.

Assemble your spear and follow the fly in the box because we're discussing Dario Argento's 1985 giallo fairytale, Phenomena.Starring Jennifer Connelly, Donald Pleasance and Argento's frequent collaborator, Daria Nicolodi, this movie is wild (seriously: take a shot every time we say the word). From questionable disability representation to a Friday the 13th-inspired climax, from chimps to bugs, Phenomena kinda has it all.Plus: Trace tackles the multiple cuts, Joe's fantasy double bill, a "sleepy" Connelly, maggot baptisms, and debate about who committed the murders and why.Questions?
