movie inspiration: black belly of the tarantula

Finishing up Italian horror movie/fashion week I've got screencaps of Black Belly of the Tarantula (1971). Gorgeous interiors and furniture. Apparently it was inspired by Argento's Bird with the Crystal Plumage, which was available a few weeks ago but is gone now...




This nightgown is just the prettiest






and this necklace -






That table and chairs has indentations for the plates and silverware - so genius. I'm sure it's by a famous designer but I can't figure out who..







Love the painting and fur bedspread. And that funny cloud thing next to the bed is a lamp

movie inspiration: suspiria

Suspiria (1977) isn't my favorite Argento movie story-wise, but frame for frame it is the most stunning picture.
I want to live here -













I could have taken hundreds of pictures, but then you'd just be watching the movie real slow..
Sometimes it's on Netflix instant, but of course now that i make a post about it they've made it unavailable.

movie inspiration: cat o nine tails

Cat O'Nine Tails (1971) is not the best Argento movie ever, but the story is good enough to have been stolen by every modern cop/courtroom show out there. And this chick wears nothing but insane slash-work polyester jumpsuits and dresses throughout - totally worth it for them alone.









I have no idea how you do these sleeves up by yourself..
