Viewing Notes
First film in the annual horror movie marathon at the Music Box Theatre, renamed as the Music Box of Horrors this year for various behind the scenes drama and politics.
Been wanting to view this for a long time but held out once I saw it was scheduled for the marathon. Pretty cool to see w/the live organ accompaniment. Funnier than I expected and a classic German Expressionism film. So glad to see this on the big screen. Would love to see modern, dark retelling of this fable.
