Debra She Who Seeks said...: Very cool. Last year, the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra screened that silent version of "The Phantom of the Opera" while they played the score live. It was great!; August 15, 2013 at 8:06 PM
Kal said...: Oh I would have loved that. I saw City Lights (Charlie Chaplan) the same way. I miss film school. If I lived in Edmonton I would audit film studies classes. I loved those 3 hour labs on Thursdays.; August 15, 2013 at 8:20 PM
Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: Quite the typographical collection! Hard to say which is my favorite. I like Frankenstein for the background art, The Mummy for the model shot, and Wolf Man for the lettering.

Back when I was living in Columbus, the Ohio Theater used to play old movies on their HUGE screen. They'd really give you the whole experience since you were already in stadium seats surrounded by all this restored art deco architecture they'd spoil you with shorts, cartoons, newsreels and organ music before the actual show. One of the last things I did before leaving town was catch their midnight double feature of Frankenstein and The Wolf Man. There was a night, let me tell you!; August 15, 2013 at 9:20 PM

Edmonton has the Princess Theatre near the University. They always show the classics on the wide screen. Casablanca was my favorite there.; August 16, 2013 at 12:04 PM
