Abstract
Suspiria (Argento 1977) is a Gothic fairy tale. The innocent ballet student, Suzy Bannion, defeats the evil ancient witch-host, Helena Markos in Germany’s Black Forest. Controversially reimagined, Suspiria (Guadignino 2018) finds Susie in Berlin of the Baader Meinhoft era, where she overthrows Markos to reveal herself as the queen witch. A concoction of feminism, terrorism, and occultism, new Suspiria postures about German history, yet, like the old one, peddles the timeless fear of witches.
