About The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920) Screening with LIVE Soundtrack

Listed Under Halloween Events / Film Events / Music Events

This Halloween season, immerse yourself in the eerie world of German Expressionism with a screening of this iconic film, accompanied by a LIVE, fully improvised soundtrack performed on Scotland's only Wurlitzer organ internationally acclaimed organist, Aaron Hawthorne.

In the spooky surroundings of Pollokshaws Burgh Hall, a Grade A listed Victorian building, step into the shadowy, distorted streets of a nightmarish world where reality warps and twists before your eyes, enhanced by the haunting, atmospheric sounds of the Wurlitzer organ—a rare and powerful instrument capable of summoning every sinister creak, growl, and whisper that Dr. Caligari’s tale demands. With Hawthorne's masterful improvisation, the tension will build, the fear will grip you, and the terror will unfold in real-time.

This is not just a film screening; it’s a night of spine-tingling suspense, where the boundaries between sound and vision blur, pulling you deeper into the dark heart of the film. Whether you're a fan of classic horror or just looking for an unforgettable fright night, this live-scored performance promises an evening of dread and wonder.

Dare to witness The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari as it was meant to be seen and heard—on the edge of your seat, in thrall to the power of one of cinema’s most haunting stories. Don't miss the chance to experience this once-in-a-lifetime cinematic horror event!
