Dario Argento

Submission Deadline

Submit all articles to...
mattehavoc@gmail.com

Hey everyone, it is D.J. Heinlein from the blog site Matte Havoc. For many of those out there who are not a fan of horror movies might have a difficult time with this next installment of The LAMB in the Director’s Chair series. We will be taking a closer look at the career of Italian film director Dario Argento. He is the artistic figure behind such horror films as Suspiria (1977) and Opera (1987). For those who are unfamiliar with his career have been warned and for those who are absolutely thrilled for all horror films should dive right into participating in the next Director’s Chair installment.

Now for those of you who have never participated in this event before I would like to present the basic list of instructions and rules for participation in the series. The golden guideline would be that all participants must be a current member of the LAMBs or at least on the waiting list for approval to become a member. The second guideline of participation in the series would be for everyone to write and publish an article about the candidate who has been selected for the event. The focus of every article must stay within the arena of the person’s career as a movie director. The third and final item on the list of guidelines is an uncompromising rule of meeting the deadline for submission. Every article that you would like to submit for the event must be e-mailed to DJ Heinlein [ mattehavoc@gmail.com ] by 10 PM the night before the first day of the event. If you would like to submit an article that you published a couple of months or years ago I will accept them for participation in the event. Make sure to include a direct URL link to every article that you would like to submit. There is no minimum or maximum number of articles that can be submitted.

On a side note I usually ignore e-mails filled with explanations and plans of publishing an article for the event. My inbox fills up very quickly with submissions for this event and I might over look a submission by accident if I am spending time deleting e-mails that are filled with explanations about future publishing instead of valid and direct links to articles that are already available online. The best way to get involved in the series is to publish the article and then submit the link by e-mail. No explanations are necessary.

If you have any questions about the event you can e-mail them to me and I will respond as quickly as possible. Listed below are a few promotional graphics that you can post on your blog site to help promote the event. Have fun and knock yourself out with your reviews and editorials.

  2. Maybe this will inspire me to watch my first Argento film. Is Suspiria the right choice?

  3. @Dan I think Suspiria is probably the best film to start with. As an introduction, it's essentially the perfect film to get familiar with his style and determine whether or not you would be down with the rest of his body of work.

  4. Oh, this is an exciting choice! I just recently ordered both Deep Red and Inferno on BD!

  5. A lot of buzz surrounding Argento obviously. Maybe I should revisit Suspiria was ages since I saw it.
