Halloween on Screen at AFI
This year’s annual scary cinema series at the American Film Institute’s Silver Theatre focuses on the centennial of horror icon Vincent Price with screenings of movies he starred in including Roger Corman’s The Raven and an “interactive” screening of The Tingler from 1959. Also on tap are screenings of two silent films from the 1920s with live accompaniment by the three-man Alloy Orchestra: Rupert Julian’s The Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney, and the German classic Nosferatu. And what Halloween-themed series would be complete without screenings of Shaun of the Dead? To Oct. 31. AFI Silver Theatre, 8633 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring. Call 301-495-6720 or visit afi.com/Silver to see full schedule and times.
