Suspiria, co-authored by director Dario Argento and his collaborator Daria Nicolodi, is a dark crimson European nightmare that interlaces dance and tales of witchcraft. The film revolves around Suzy, an American dance student brought to a renowned dance school in Germany as a boarding student. Suzy's journey unfolds into a series of terrifying events. Suspiria stands as a pivotal work in the horror genre, famed for its iconic tagline: "If there's anything more terrifying than the last 12 minutes of this film, it's the first 80 minutes." With its timeless soundtrack by Goblin, remarkable cinematography by Luciana Tovoli, and the alleged autobiographical undertones from Nicolodi's life, Suspiria remains a true embodiment of its reputation.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
