This is the only way to see a silent movie - on the big screen with live music! Of course it must be the right music. I saw the silent film, "Metropolis" accompanied by a 3 man orchestra whose expertise in metal instruments was perfectly matched to the film! The same applied here - the pipe organ was the PERFECT score/soundtrack behind this horror film. The evening was relaxed and festive - many people arrived in costume - there was nothing stuffy about it. I've been to the Disney Concert Hall many times, but this was my first time at their Halloween event, and I most certainly would like to come back and bring more friends!Written on Nov 01 2010

Description
Legendary American actor John Barrymore stars in the dual role of this 1920 silent horror classic, accompanied live on the Walt Disney Concert Hall pipe organ, played by Clark Wilson.
Clark Wilson is one of the most prominent and recognized scorers of silent photoplays in America today. He works exclusively with the organ in developing accurate and historic musical accompaniments as they were performed in major picture palaces during the heyday of the silent film.
Clark was personally influenced by, and subsequently became close friends with Chicago organist John Muri, who was an original master of picture accompaniment and practiced his art well into the 1980s. His (and Wilson’s) historic style was that of utilizing fine music as a basis for developing a score of musical value. If the original score is no longer extant, a new one is prepared from the organist’s library and is normally transferred to a cue sheet – somewhat of a “road map” of suggested themes and notated screen actions that keep the organist fully on course. The development of themes in serious pictures is obtained exclusively in this way, and it must be considered the truest way to properly underscore screen action. Nothing is left to chance and wholesale improvisation is not relied upon. Further, the musical style of the time remains intact; no attempt is made to distract from the picture by using themes or styles that entered the musical scene years later. Most important of all, the film remains the focus and star of the performance.
Wilson began his scoring career in 1980 and has successfully toured North America with hundreds of film presentations at schools and universities, performing arts centers, theatres, film festivals, and conventions. His work has led to performances for the Chautauqua Institution, Cinequest and San Francisco film festivals, the Los Angeles Conservancy, the Packard Foundation’s Stanford Theatre film series, the Atlanta premier of the restored Metropolis, and annual presentations for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Society at the Walt Disney Concert Hall organ.
