This isn’t just a film screening—it’s a ghostly journey into the heart of silent horror, where every creaking door and sinister glance is fuelled by the mighty 1937 Wurlitzer theatre organ, brought to life by internationally acclaimed organist and silent film accompanist, Aaron Hawthorne.
Step into the dark elegance of a building that feels like it has secrets to tell, where the air seems colder, the echoes last longer, and the flicker of candlelight plays tricks on the eyes. Legends say Pollokshaws Burgh Hall is haunted... and on this night, as Lon Chaney’s Phantom rises from the depths of the Paris Opera House, you might start to believe it too.
The Phantom of the Opera (1925) remains one of the most iconic horror films ever made, a gothic masterpiece dripping with mystery and menace. But with Aaron Hawthorne at the keys, the experience becomes utterly electrifying. Each terrifying twist, each heart-stopping reveal, will be scored LIVE in real time, with thunderous bass, ghostly whispers and soaring melodies echoing through the rafters of this eerie building.
Whether you're a silent cinema fan, a horror lover, or just someone seeking a truly unforgettable night out, this event promises chills, awe, and maybe even a few ghosts of its own. There may also be a few surprises...
Come if you dare... and don’t forget to glance over your shoulder.
