Episode 292: Witchcraft and Color- Suspiria (1977) & The Witch (2015)”

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.__________________________
