1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS, DVD?
DVD, actually. I didn't get the VHS of this and kept postponing it till I rented the DVD.
2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?
Oh yes! Apart from being touted as Argento's masterpiece, the music by Goblin was already a superhit. I read about it in film mags, saw bits and pieces of it on TV shows, read about it on the Net, etc. A lot of feedback, actually.
3 - How was the viewing experience?
Fantastic. The use of colors by Argento is brilliant, and the harrowing Goblin music! So reminiscent of Indian film music, specially the suspenseful tracks. It did not disappoint me at all. Loved it.
4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?
5-6 times since then.
5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
Bought Goblin's audio CD shortly after my first
Suspiria watch. Someday I might get them to sign it for me. A distant dream.

1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS, DVD?
VHS. A fine, grainy print which added to the atmosphere.
2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?
Of course! Who hasn't heard of the milestone of our genre?!
3 - How was the viewing experience?
Fantastic. It surpassed all my expectations. Right from the opening scenes to the lockout inside the house, the tension build-up, the ultra-creepy child zombie scene, and the shocking finale! That one shot fired in the ending made me jump back in my chair. Poor Ben.
4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?
Lost count. I don't know...around 30-odd times, maybe more.
5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
None, except that if this scenario became real someday, you know where it all began.
