The New SUSPIRIA Trailer Sets High Expectations


Good. Lord.

Suspiria was already my most-anticipated movie of 2018, based on my love for the original and the breadcrumbs we'd gotten about this reimagining so far. But the trailer that was released this week just confirmed that it is going to be amazing.

I am now on full media blackout until the movie releases, because fan theories are already running wild, and I just need to go into this movie with a clean slate. And there is already enough to unpack from this trailer that will last be.

What I will be doing, however, is rewatching not only the original Suspiria, but the other two entries in the "Three Mothers Trilogy," Inferno and Mother of Tears. I sincerely hope this new Suspiria is the start of a series, because it looks like Luca Guadagnino is paying the utmost respect to Argento's mythology.

Happy Birthday, Partner!

Today I want to wish the happiest of birthdays Jolene Haley, my writing partner in crime.

I could recount our origin story again, or talk about how amazing it is to write with you (which it is), but today I want to celebrate what a wonderful friend you are. Because this past year has been filled with lots of changes, new challenges and new adventures for both of us. But one of the few constants in my life has been your friendship. You are there through the good, the bad, and the totally surreal. Always a beacon of positivity, and always supportive.

This is not unique to our friendship--this is who you are with everyone you know. All of our Midnight Society crew, the writing community online, and pretty much every person you meet. You are a friend to everyone, and every single one of us is lucky to know you.

I am so tremendously grateful for your friendship, and I strive daily to be the kind of friend to you and to others that you are to everyone.

So happy birthday, partner! You are the best. I can't wait to hang out again soon. Pizza's on me!

Brian


P.S. Oh, and this next year is going to be amazing. I cannot freaking wait for us to share Haunted with the world, and give them a sneak peek of where we're going next!


Go see your birthday wishes from the rest of the crew!
