The Fox Tucson has something a little different in store for Halloween weekend this year.
On Sunday, Oct. 30, the theater will be screening a fully restored version of the 1925 Lon Chaney silent horror classic, βPhantom of the Opera,β an adaptation of Gaston Lerouxβs 1910 novel of the same name.
That in itself is already pretty cool.
But hereβs the kicker: The film will have live musical accompaniment from the Foxβs own Mighty Wurlitzer, the refurbished pipe organ that was brought back to life by the theater after years of work in 2019.
Manning the Wurlitzer will be organist and University of Arizona alum, Dave Wickerham.
Professional storyteller, Jordan Wiley-Hill will be telling tales about the Foxβs ghostly past before the 7 p.m. show.
General admission to the screening is $15 with discounts available. For $50, you can attend the 5 p.m. pre-show fundraiser, which includes drinks, appetizers and premium reserved seating. Proceeds from the fundraiser go toward the organβs maintenance and programming costs.
