17. What coloured iris does Suzy end up using to find the secret entrance?
From Quiz Suspiria (1977)
Answer:
Blue
That night, Suzy returns to the academy to find that everyone is gone. She inquires about this to the chef only to discover that Ms. Tanner purchased tickets for the opening night of a local ballet performance. Suzy attempts to call Sarah's friend, but the phone is cut off during a storm. Suzy returns to her room and gets rid of her dinner, dumping the food into the toilet, and her red wine into the sink, where she realizes that it's quite thick. She turns out the light and prepares to leave, but she opens the window on her way out, accidentally letting a bat into the room, and oddly, it proceeds to attack her. She manages it to take it to the ground and place a towel onto it before smashing it with a stool. She returns to the bedroom and finds the notes left for her by Sarah, and using these, she decides to follow the steps, once the footsteps have already passed. When When she reaches the end however, she ends up in the vice-directress' room, seemingly a dead end. Realizing that there must be a way out, since the footsteps end as they hit the carpet, she looks to the walls to find irises, painted on the side of the room. As she recalls the importance of these, she remembers Pat leaving the academy, and that she spoke about using the blue iris to unlock the secret passage through the storm. Turning the blue iris, Suzy opens a secret doorway, which she decides to go into, and down the hall here, she finds Madame Blanc, Ms. Tanner, Albert, and many more discussing the 'vanishing' that they plan to make Suzy do. Madame Blanc drinks from a ceremonial chalice and calls upon the strength of Elaina to help her cause sickness in Suzy, and she backs down an additional corridor to hide. Down this path, however, she finds Sarah's body, her eyes stuck with pins and her hands staked to the table below. Shocked by this, she is heard by Pablos, who comes to investigate, so she thinks fast and quickly hides in a separate room. Thinking that she has reached safety, Suzy relaxes, but soon hears the horrible snoring that she and Sarah listened to during their night in the dance hall, that of the directress. Suzy quickly tries to retreat, but upon opening the door she sees Pablos coming up the path. When she closes the door and backs up though, she accidentally knocks a table, waking up the directress, who sits up and says that she's been expecting this American girl. She reveals that she is Elaina Marcus, the witch who opened the academy many years ago and Suzy picks up a sharp object from the table she knocked over before proceeding to the bed. When Suzy draws the curtain, the directress has disappeared, and Elaina exclaims that because she tried to kill her, death now comes for her in the form of the living dead. When Suzy turns around, the door she entered opens, and Sarah bursts through it with a dagger. Looking away in fear, Suzy notices a sheen around the outline of the directress, and she stabs through it with her sharp object, hitting Elaina Marcus' neck and killing her, also causing Sarah to disappear. Unfortunately for Suzy, this causes a chain reaction, and the academy begins to destroy itself. Suzy runs out to the hallway to find Elaina's followers choking to death, and she continues onwards through the destructive academy until she finally exits through the front door, moments before the building explodes in flame. Suzy walks off through the rain, smiling and laughing.
