While this remake appear to be stay relatively true to the source material ( though Guadagnino and Argento obviously have different style ) , there are some curious changes that specifically revolve around the mold .

Goblin and Thom Yorke as Composers
In the originalSuspiria , the music is easily as much of a character as the actors themselves . The Italian rock group Goblin supplied an original composition to Argento ’s motion picture , craft the motion-picture show ’s earmark haunting score - so it ’s only right to acknowledge the differences betweentheirwork and the scotch from Radiohead ’s Thom Yorke for the remaking .
