speaking of italian horror.... funny note from my disney obsession.

in the 1930’s American horror films were suppressed in Italy by the Mussolini regime, but Snow White despite its very dark elements was allowed through and served to scar and of course inspire the youth of Italia.
So... flash forward to when those children grew up, and Snow Whites run through the forest is replicated in Bava’s Black Sunday (1960) and Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977).
