What Messed Us Up...
Welcome to What Messed Us Up, an ongoing look into...just that.
The Facets Halloween series led me to check YouTube for two film-related things that really scarred me as a kid.
This first one is a TV trailer for a 1977 horror film called Suspiria. I saw this late at night while watching Saturday Night Live.

The first trailer seems to imply that "Suspiria" is not a lurking beastie but rather a really bad neighborhood. "International Classics," indeed.
