ANVIL ORCHESTRA
7:30 pm: CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI
A crazed doctor and a carnival sleepwalker perpetrate a series of ghastly murders in this quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema from director Robert Wiene. Arguably the first true horror film, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI set a brilliantly high bar for the genre and remains terrifying nearly a century after it first stalked the screen. 1920 | 67 min | Not Rated
