Suspiria
A waking nightmare like none other, Dario Argento’s Suspiria sits as comfortably in a grindhouse as it does in an arthouse. The Italian master’s breakout dance macabre finds American Suzy (Jessica Harper) enrolling in a German ballet school that could be seen as seventh circle of hell if it wasn’t also so stylishly decorated. Although Argento and crew shower us with a rain of maggots and throw us into razor wire pits, Suspiria is nevertheless one of the most visually enthralling works of its medium, seemingly inventing colors never seen before. That coupled with Goblin’s classic score means missing it with our new sight and sound would be a ghastly tragedy.

The Winifred Moore Auditorium is the home of the Webster University Film Series. Originally used as a chapel, it now boasts the most comfortable theater seats around. (Some of the original pews can be seen in the hallways of Webster Hall.) The auditorium seats 240.
In addition to film screenings, the auditorium hosts jazz and classical concerts, Opera Studio performances, lectures, town hall meetings, and other university events.
