Artist’s Posters for the ‘Suspiria’ Remake Pay Tribute to the Original Film’s ’70s Posters
Fans have been having a whole lot of fun with Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming remake of Suspiria, with one fan adding Goblin’s iconic score to the trailer. Another fan has taken it upon himself to whip up six posters for the remake, inspired by the original film’s classic art.
Over on Behance, artist Surya Shékhar shares his ’70s style poster designs for the remake, each one inspired by a specific poster for Dario Argento’s Suspiria from the 1970s.
Shekhar explains, “The graphic designer in me was overwhelmed to see the quality of the poster arts for the original. I observed each with the utmost attention to detail. It was then slowly I planned to make posters for the 2018 remake, inspired from the original 1977 film’s posters. So to make a vintage poster specifically from the 70s, I needed to know about the graphic design style of that decade.“
The artist continues, “One of the striking features of the ’77 Suspiria’s posters was the various typefaces they used for the movie title. So to make posters for the new movie, I decided to use my favourite typefaces from the old film, among its other elements.”
Check out the posters below and see the original Suspiria art over on Behance.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
