Live Movie Soundtrack Performance

Sunday 31 October - Halloween Night
8:30pm


This legendary 1925 version of Gaston Leroux's tale of a facially deformed man living in the catacombs of a Paris opera house obsessed with one of the singers, is a true cinematic landmark. With so many takes on the tale, this is the definitive one, featuring Lon Chaney Sr. in the title role.

As with each year's Halloween highlight, THE MAKABRA ENSEMBLE will again perform a new original soundtrack to this silent classic with a range of electronic and acoustic instruments, right there below the big screen.
THE MAKABRA ENSEMBLE consists of members from TERMINATRYX and LARK, as well as violin maestro Matthijs Van Dijk.

This show will also be the Halloween Dress Up competition of the HORRORFEST, with the first prize of an X BOX 360 plus games, including the creepy Horror title Alan Wake.

A rare event indeed which is not to be missed.
