Eighty years later, and it’s still creepy.
“The Phantom of the Opera” by Rupert Jillian and starring Lon Chaney first opened in the U.S. in 1929. Since then the film has only grown in popularity.
The film will be shown at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, at the KiMo Theatre, 423 W. Central. The Alloy Orchestra will perform its own original score.
