Celebrate Halloween-eve at the Gregg Museum with a chilling film screening of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Attendees are encouraged to come in costume!

This 1920 silent horror film, directed by Robert Weine from a screenplay by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer, features a dark and twisted visual style, with sharp-pointed forms, oblique, curving lines, structures and landscapes that lean and twist in unusual angles, and shadows and streaks of light painted directly onto the sets. Considered the quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema, it tells the story of an insane hypnotist (Werner Krauss) who uses a brainwashed somnambulist (Conrad Veidt) to commit murders.
