While originals fall flat at the box office, studios seem to be focused only on two things, properties, and awards season.
Suspiria seems to be making an attempt on both of these, potentially creating a franchise while traveling the festival circuit. And what's the best way to imply the start of a franchise? An after credits scene.
Following the debut of
Call Me By Your Name last year, director Luca Guadagnino has opted not to make another tearjerker, rather creating a horror epic that will scare the hell out of audiences. And if it works, will it be a franchise? Guadagnino sure hopes so. Speaking to Deadline he had this to say:
At the beginning, we were going to title the movie Suspiria: Part One but we didn’t want to give the impression of something that couldn’t stand alone. Truthfully, I’d be interested to explore the origin of [Tilda Swinton's character.] . . . So maybe. We'll see how the movie goes.
Later in the interview, the director does discuss the inclusion of an after credits scene, and while it may be spoiler heavy, it does provide hints for a followup. The important thing is, do not get out of your seats.
