Tenebrae

We've talked about this filmmaker a ton on the podcast before, but I'd never seen...

Dario Argento's Tenebrae from 1982.

Can't recommend it enough.

I think it's a low classic, easy, maybe even a classic.

The photography is so starkly different to what he was doing in the very vivid reds and blues of Suspiria and Inferno, where he he's doing a lot of these kills with just this high contrast, bright photography style.

It's very fucking cool.

Highly recommend Tenebrae.

Check it out.

Then we have Hereditary.

And the last movie on the list, Tenebrae.

Dario Argento's classic Tenebrae.

Which reminds me, less than a week after Halloween, I'll be seeing Claudio Sumanetti's Goblin performing the entire score for Tenebrae live as the film screens behind them.

So be sure to check out the socials for Claudio Simonetti's Goblin to see if there's a show coming near you.

You know, Goblin features pretty prominently in my October playlists as well.

literally, as you were talking, I was thinking that, uh, and that was one thing I had written about in college was like, I did like some close readings of kills.

Uh, but certain horror movies, like, uh, just to give an example, Dario Argento's, um, Tenebrae has a great shot.

It's actually a really long shot.

So it's one of those camera shoots that starts outside, goes inside, goes down the stairs, and there's no cuts.

So, yeah, on my end of things, the only thing that's really kind of cropped up for me, other than this Black Belly of the Tarantula 4K release, is the Claudio

Simonetti Tenebrae Tour.

Yeah.

That is taking place not only in my neck of the woods, but also in Matt's neck of the woods.

Alex Theater in Glendale, California.

Yeah, Tenebrae live soundtrack plus classic hits.

And in my neck of the woods, they're doing it at the... colonial theater in phoenixville which uh is actually the looks like based on his website this is the first u.s date so i don't know if that's good or bad like sometimes if you're the first if you get to see the first show of a tour sometimes they're a little rusty but it's not like they haven't been playing prior to he's playing

quick is claudio simonetti's goblin the official goblin, or is...

I even forgot, I just looked it up.

I was like, "When did this come out in his filmography?" And it is sandwiched between Tenebrae and Opera, which I think Tenebrae is even messier than this one.

I think Tenebrae is higher highs, but it also has lowest lows.

Um, but Opera is so much better in that sense.

But no, I do agree with you.

It's gonna be disturbing as hell." Um, he definitely started having kind of a downward spiral.

We can go further into that later.

But I do think here with Tenebrae first and then with this one, I see, you know, like the sloppiness starting to come in, um, which maybe comes from having too much success.

I've seen some Dario Argento movies.

I've seen Deep Red and Tenebrae.

I've seen, I don't know if it counts, but Inferno and Suspiria and Phenomena.

Which you said you love.

That's like phenomenal.

It was like that.

And then I feel like Tenebrae too had this like last 10 minute thing where it seemed wrapped up and then all of a sudden like someone gets their arm chopped off and there's like this spray of blood and it's very violent and shocking.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Tenebrae.

[sings]

Looks like Tenebrae was the first one.

Um, yeah.

So I mean, it explains the whole look of this film.

All right, this next one, also very obscure if you're more into the mainstream US slasher, but I had to pick another Argento film.

And this one comes from Tenebrae, which is one of my...

It's my favorite Argento film, but it's also probably one of my favorite horror movies ever.

And this one...

But if you want to go and type in your list right now is the time to do it, and I will read it out.

so we can get your top 10.

But I had, okay, so 10, House of Wax, Tenebrae, Stage Fright, The Shining, Halloween 5, Prom Night, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Halloween 2, Mute Witness, and Scream 2. nice i and i realized that most of those are from the 80s so i think like one two three four five six six of them are from the 80s three of them are from the 90s and one of them is from the 2000s or the naughties as not daniel uh patreon supporter daniel likes to
