The 1931 horror classic FRANKENSTEIN was made without any underscoring. Now contemporary classical composer and conductor Michael Shapiro has written music to accompany the entire film. See the Boris Karloff classic on the BIG SCREEN while hearing 15 members of the THE CHAPPAQUA ORCHESTRA conducted by the composer. This event is made possible by the combined efforts of ArtsRock, Rivertown Film Society and Arts Angels, and it WILL sell out. Purchase tickets now.
The American Film Institute named Frankenstein one of Hollywood’s 100 greatest movies. It’s a film that everyone should see, and this screening will be an ideal way to see it.

“No matter what one may say about the melodramatic ideas here, there is no denying that it is far and away the most effective thing of its kind.” “A stirring grand-guignol type of picture, one that aroused so much excitement at the Mayfair yesterday that many in the audience laughed to cover their true feelings.” – Mordaunt Hall, The New York Times (1931)
“Looks like a Dracula plus, touching a new peak in horror plays and handled in production with supreme craftsmanship.” “The figure of the monster is a triumph of effect. It has the face and head of exactly the right distortions to convey a sense of the diabolical, but not enough to destroy the essential touch of monstrous human evil.” – Alfred Rushford Greason, Variety (1931)
