Description: It’s an annual tradition: for Halloween, the Old Town Music Hall screens the 1925 Phantom of the Opera, the black-and-white silent classic starring Lon Chaney, with live musical accompaniment on the theatre’s Mighty Wurlitzer organ. The film itself is a bit creaky, but Chaney is magnificent, and the unmasking scene is justly famous. If you’re a fan of silent horror, The Phantom of the Opera is an excellent film to experience at Old Town Music Hall.

Screening times are:

Friday October 28 at 8:15pm
Saturday October 29 at 2:30pm and 8:15pm
Sunday October 30 at 2:30pm
