Explore the origins of horror this Halloween with the genre-defining silent classic Phantom of the Opera. The shadowy expressionism of Rupert Julian's direction and spine-tingling talents of Lon Chaney combine to make Phantom classic horror at its best. However, what happens onscreen is only half of the experience, as this screening includes live organ accompaniment in Oakland's acoustically astonishing Paramount Theatre, arguably the best venue in town for vintage film. From the dizzying angles, rich colors, and gilt bas-reliefs of the theatre's gorgeous art deco design to the classic pre-show cocktails and music, Phantom at the Paramount is an evening not soon forgotten.
