The iconic moment when Mary Philbin removed Lon Chaney’s mask in The Phantom of the Opera (1925, dir. Rupert Julian) is one of cinema’s most enduring images. Now, The Invincible Czars will bring their signature blend of eclectic instrumentation, adventurous arrangements and sense of emotional depth to this 100-year-old classic, performing it live with the film.

The original Nosferatu (1922) follows a young real estate agent, Thomas Hutter, who travels to Transylvania to meet with the mysterious Count Orlok. Hutter becomes increasingly suspicious of Orlok’s strange behavior and eventually discovers he is a vampire. Orlok then travels to Hutter’s town, causing death and destruction. The Invincible Czars add haunting music that adds depth and intensity to this already renowned film.

At his secluded chateau in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter’s disfigured countenance—at a horrifying price. Eyes Without a Face, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images here—of terror, of gore, of inexplicable beauty—that once seen are never forgotten.

This genuinely frightening, exquisitely made supernatural gothic stars Deborah Kerr as an emotionally fragile governess who comes to suspect that there is something very, very wrong with her precocious new charges. A psychosexually intensified adaptation of Henry James’s classic The Turn of the Screw, cowritten by Truman Capote and directed by Jack Clayton, The Innocents is a triumph of narrative economy and technical expressiveness, from its chilling sound design to the stygian depths of its widescreen cinematography by Freddie Francis.

Intrigued by the possibilities of early-aughts consumer-grade digital video, Lynch started out shooting tests with Dern and then grafted on scenes of Hollywood machinations, conjugal intrigue, Polish curses, and even a rabbit-headed sitcom parody. The result is as dark, unpredictable and utterly compelling as anything he’s ever done, both an epic recap of a career—including appearances by Lynch veterans Justin Theroux, Laura Harring, Grace Zabriskie, Diane Ladd, and the inimitable Harry Dean Stanton—and his most radical and experimental movie since “Eraserhead.”

One of the most infamous, impactful, and gut-wrenching Japanese horror films ever made returns to the big screen! Recent widower (and movie producer) Shigeharu is looking for a new wife. But instead of going the usual route, he decides to hold “auditions” for a movie that doesn’t exist. Shigeharu quickly becomes enchanted with Asami, a spooky twenty-something who is responsive to his charms. But things aren’t what they seem.

The strangest and most disturbing of the films Bergman shot on the island of Fa°ro¨, Hour of the Wolf stars Max von Sydow as a haunted painter living in voluntary exile with his wife (Liv Ullmann). When the couple are invited to a nearby castle for dinner, things start to go wrong with a vengeance, as a coven of sinister aristocrats hastens the artist’s psychological deterioration. This gripping film is charged with a nightmarish power rare in the Bergman canon, and contains dreamlike effects that brilliantly underscore the tale’s horrific elements.

One of the great rediscoveries of the past 20 years, this candy-coloured ghost story follows a group of teenage girls who head off for a weekend in the country but end up at the mercy of a haunted house and its sinister inhabitants including a man-eating piano, an evil cat spirit, and, for some reason, a carload of watermelons.
Nobuhiko Obayahshi’s hallucinatory tale is nightmarish, absurd, and visually astonishing. It’s a film that begs to be seen on the big screen and with a raucous crowd ready to step into a world of unrealistic special effects, stylized sets, and a storyline where literally anything can happen. It truly is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween!

Step into Hitchcock’s web of suspense this Halloween with Dial M for Murder! When a cunning husband plots the “perfect crime” against his wealthy wife, nothing goes quite as planned — leading to one of the master of suspense’s most gripping thrillers. Elegant, chilling, and razor-sharp, this classic is a reminder that sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones hiding in plain sight.

Return to where the night of terror began. John Carpenter’s Halloween is the ultimate slasher classic, unleashing Michael Myers on the quiet town of Haddonfield — and horror fans ever since. With its haunting score, relentless suspense, and the unforgettable scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, this is the essential Halloween big-screen experience you won’t want to miss.

Trick or treat gets weird with Frankenhooker! When a mad scientist loses his fiancée in a freak accident, he cobbles together a new bride using… less-than-conventional means. This outrageous cult comedy is gory, goofy, and gloriously inappropriate — perfect for horror fans who like their scares served with a twisted laugh.
