So. The first Suspiria trailer is out (and has been out for a few weeks now, I know, but cut me some slack here).

I actually enjoyed the remake a lot, but if I did a post on that movie I would just bombard you guys with Holtzmann gifs, so it wouldn't exactly qualify … Continue reading Monster Monday: Ghostbusters
