Old Town Music Haunt Information

During October, Old Town Music Hall turns into Old Town Music Haunt, offering month-long festival of Halloween Horror Movie Screenings with an emphasis on black-and-white classics, including silent films. Each show is presented like more of an event than a mere screening. The main feature is preceded by live music, an audience sing-along, and a comedy short. Silent films feature live accompaniment, which literally includes all the bells and whistles available on the venue’s Mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ.

The Phantom is displeased when Christine interrupts his organ playing.

Old Town Music Haunt‘s Halloween schedule usually favors horror movies from the 1930s and 1940s, particularly monster movies from Universal Pictures (Dracula, Frankenstein), plus some cult and sci-fi films of later vintage. Thecompany’s 1925 silent version of The Phantom of the Opera is a perennial, being perfectly suited to the live accompaniment on Old Town Music Hall’s organ. Most programming is family-friendly, but some films may to too intense for younger viewers.

Old Town Music Hall screens classic films year-round, occasionally mixing in fantasy and science fiction titles. For a time, there was a monthly Sci-Fi Tuesday.
