Calendar Pick: Ghost Almanac

Ghost Almanac Band

After last year’s successful tour live-scoring the 1911 horror film L’Inferno, chamber music group Montopolis is returning to Ciné on a tour for Ghost Almanac, an 80-minute program of the best scenes from classic short horror films paired with live accompaniment and foley. Montopolis describes the show as “Tales from the Crypt” meets VH1, with a score driven by old school beats and vintage synthesizers. The films in Ghost Almanac are recognizable classics and ones that have recently entered the public domain, including The Skeleton Dance (1929), Haxan (1922), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), The Haunted House (1921) starring Buster Keaton (1921), L’Inferno (1911), Betty Boop’s Halloween Party (1933), The Vanishing Lady (1896) and Nosferatu (1922). This is the show’s second stop on a 23-stop tour across the U.S.
