Well maybe not walking with the queen, but did see the "Man of a Thousand Faces" on the big screen yesterday in the classic silent film "Phantom of the Opera." I am a big horror movie fan and can't believe I never saw it before. There was a live organ accompaniment on a huge pipe organ that was pretty bad ass. The silent film was a truly unique art form that thrived for just about 25 years and I noticed how the acting was designed to be a little over the top to convey what was going on to minimize the number of dialogue panels. And the production was big - big as any modern Hollywood blockbuster, especially the opera house scenes with all the costumes, backdrops, and hundreds of extras - no CGI.
What's on tap for your Halloween viewing?

Live organ at a silent movie
Live organ at a silent movie is cool as shit.
Little theatre close to here has one on a little elevator that takes it up through a trap door to stage level. Excellent for old cartoons as well
