just got this email from The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC regarding the goblin show (DAMMIT, i wish i lived in asheville - i'll be travelling in later that week):
Dear Goblin Ticketholder,
In anticipation of our Goblin show on Thursday, we thought it would be cool to show Suspiria on our big screen this Monday, September 30th! Since you have a ticket to Goblin, we'd like to invite you to be our guest to the movie. Just bring your ticket or email confirmation and get in for free! The movie starts at 8pm and we'll have plenty of beer, soda and snacks!
The film follows American ballet student Suzy Bannion (Harper) who transfers to a prestigious dance academy in Germany, only to discover that it is controlled by a coven of witches. The score was performed by progressive rock band Goblin. It is the first of the trilogy Argento refers to as "The Three Mothers", followed by Inferno and The Mother of Tears.
Suspiria has become one of Argento's most successful feature films, receiving critical acclaim for its visual and stylistic flair, use of vibrant colors and its soundtrack. It was nominated for two Saturn Awards: Best Supporting Actress for Joan Bennett in 1978 and Best DVD Classic Film Release in 2002. This was Bennett's final film.
It has since become a cult classic and a remake was planned for 2013 but put on hold indefinitely.
xo,
The Orange Peel
