‘Suspiria’ Is the First in an Argento Trilogy That Took 30 Years to Finish
Dario Argento continued Suspiria's lore with two more movies — Inferno and Mother of Tears.
When discussing pioneers in horror, no conversation is complete without mentioning Dario Argento. This legendary filmmaker has a decades-spanning career that goes from jumpstarting the historic giallo mystery genre to creating petrifying images of melancholic terror still celebrated to this day. One of his most famous works is 1977's Suspiria, a mind-bending tale of supernatural horror that scared audiences then and now for its inventive (and highly graphic) methods of fear. Yet despite this film's infamy, it's often forgotten that it is only the first in a trilogy of films that took the director three decades to complete.
