The Phantom of the Opera

Today I went to The Colonial to see the Lon Chaney version of The Phantom of the Opera with live organ music by Bernie Anderson. It was such a fantastic experience especially around Halloween. There were a decent number of people attending and I scored my usual spot up in the balcony. The music was so perfect that almost from the very beginning I completely forgot that it was live. I snagged a mini movie of one scene, since there was no one near me or behind me that I would be bothering, and it really shows how perfectly Mr. Anderson matched the music to the film. I look forward to seeing more silent films presented with live music as Phantom was so much fun!
