Dario Argento's Suspiria holds a rightful place near the top of every "Scariest Films of All Time" list, but its less-popular sequel Inferno may be even more groundbreaking, more disturbing, and yes, maybe even scarier. With an innovative stream-of-consciousness series of protagonists keeping the audience off-guard (you never know who is supposed to save the day, if anyone) and chillingly dreamlike death scenes (a crippled man goes to Central Park to drown a bag of cats, and you won't believe what happens next), Inferno deserves a higher place in Argento's already impressive list of horror classics.
