“Disney” and “Horror” are not words that go together for most people. The brand of the film company is synonymous with animated family films. It is an organization built on dreams, not nightmares.
Think, however, and you will realize that the best Disney movies generally have moments of horror. The appearance of the headless rider in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is the first time that I remember a scary film Me. The bad coachman (Charles Judels) in “Pinocchio” is delighted to transform the little boys into cretinConvict them to a living hell like donkeys deprived of humanity. “Hellfire” by “the hunchback of Notre Dame” Judge Claude Frollo (Tony Jaye) was tormented by his thirst for Esmeralda (Demi Moore) and the appearances, all supported on a disturbing Latin choir.

Then come back at the start of the Disney animated function with “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” from 1937. After sparing Snow White (Adriana Caselotti), the hunter (Stuart Buchanan) warns the young girl to run in the forest, far from Queen Jalouse (Lucille la Verne). Frightened snow requires, but she imagines the trees of the forest like horrible and frightening monsters trying to grasp it, bite it – or worse: worse: worse: worse: worse: worse: worse: worse: worse:

The influence of “Snow White” is impossible to overestimate. He even inspired the Italian horror filmmaker Dario Argento and his 1977 Giallo Slasher “Suspiria”. If this film looks nothing like “Snow White”, know that Argento and its director of photography Luciano Tovoli were there to take over the film lookNot her fanciful songs or romance.

“Suspiria” is famous for its phantasmagorical lighting And the pink-high color palette (as each frame is soaked in the blood). “It was said from the start that Technicolor lacked moderate nuances, [and] was no nuances – like cut caricatures, ” As Argento has already pointed outThis is why he was inspired by a real cartoon to guide the look of the film.
Suspiria, like many Disney films, is fundamentally a fairy tale
“Suspiria” takes place in Freiburg, Germany, in a ballet academy which is also secretly a witch clan led by Helena “Mater Suspiriorum” Markos (Lela Svasta). The film follows an American student named Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper) when she gradually realizes that something is wrong. His suspicions quickly degenerate when her classmates begin to die, culminating with Susie who finally overcome Markos to destroy the Cove.

The German framework for “Suspiria” connects it to the many fairy tales Grimm Grimm on evil witches – including “Snow White”. In Disney’s “Snow White”, this witch is the nasty queen, who disguises her old cold and serpentine woman, but young, by pretending to be an old black woman.
Mother Markos looks like the Queen of Evil transformed, while Suzy looks like Snow White. She is an innocent girl with black hair that takes place in witches. The horror of “Suspiria”, both for the last girl Suzy and the various victims, is structured in the same way as the snow white race through the forest. The girls, like Suzy’s friend, Sara (Stefania Casini), only arises to find herself taken in a maze of horror, each new step terrifying them. In the film’s opening scene, Suzy (sitting at the rear of a taxi) spies the former student Pat Hingle (eva axen) trying to escape her pursuers as Snow White did.

The remake of “Snow White” live from Disney disappointed the box office when hitting the rooms (But without fault of the star Rachel Zegler). For a much more moving film with “snow white”, discover “Suspiria” of Argento instead.
