Spend your Halloween weekend with 5th Avenue Cinema as we explore the origins of cinema through the evolution of horror! Revel in the cap, the surreal, and the unsettling short films by Georges Méliès, Segundo de Chomón and others followed by a presentation of The Hands of Orlac (1924) — a German Expressionist descent into early body horror as the receiver of a hand transplant turns into a serial killer. Starring the powerhouse of screen presence, Conrad Veidt (of Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Casablanca fame) The Hands of Orlac is sure to elicit thrills and scares alongside a hefty course of melodrama.

This program consists of a single screening on Saturday, October 31st at 6pm. The collection of films spans over three decades from 1896 - 1929.
