Grab your popcorn as Density512 presents the 1931 film Frankenstein complete with a LIVE orchestra playing Michael Shapiro’s modern score! Hailed in its time for “gruesome chill-producing and exciting drama…produced intelligently and lavishly and with a grade of photography that is superb" (Film Daily, 1931), Frankenstein still leaves today’s audiences “riveted to their seats” when accompanied by Shapiro’s score: “the power of the live music with the classic film was hypnotic” (Cashbox Canada Magazine, 2010). This spooktacular film screening additionally features a newly commissioned film with music by Jackie Myers, director of Austin’s Silent Films Out Loud.
