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 Phantom Carriage (1921) — a Swedish tale of horror and morality that made extensive use of double exposure, and even inspired Kubrick for a famous scene in The Shining.

This program consists of a single screening on Sunday, November 1st at 3pm. The collection of films spans over three decades from 1896 - 1933
