Sunday Bloody Sunday: ‘Peephole Death’ From ‘Opera’ (1987)

Yep, back to back weeks of Dario Argento movies!  Last week on Sunday Bloody Sunday we had the arm chop from Tenebre.  And this week it’s all about a bullet through a peephole (that would be a good name for a song btw) from Mr. Argento’s 1987 underrated giallo, Opera.

I’m sure a lot of you out there have had some peephole anxiety in the past.  You get a knock on the door, but before you open it – you put your peeper up to the peephole to get a peak at who it is.  The whole fisheye lens can be deceiving and frustrating because it can be hard to get a good look at who’s on the other side.  Unfortunately for Mira (Daria Nicolodi) in Opera, she may have spent a little too much time on peephole patrol.  Without spoiling her ridiculous but entertaining death, I’ll let you watch it below to fully enjoy it:

Sunday Bloody Sunday: ‘Axe Attack’ From ‘Tenebre’ (1982)

*WARNING: The clip that you’re about to watch in this post contains an extremely unrealistic chopping off of an arm by an axe.  You’ve been warned*

God bless Dario Argento.  Why the hell doesn’t he make good movies anymore though?  That’s a question that could take a while to find an answer to, so lets focus on some of his better work from days past to take our minds off of that.

On this week’s Sunday Bloody Sunday it’s about to get all giallo red up in here, because I’m highlighting one of the best and most ridiculous death scenes from Argento’s 1982 slasher:  Tenebre.  If you haven’t seen the movie, then I’m about to spoil the fact that the character of Jane is about to be hacked up by an axe murderer.  But before she’s done for good, she’s going to decide to paint the beautiful white walls in her house bright red!  I heard that she did always have dreams of becoming an interior designer.
