CRITIC’S PICK: My kind of Halloween concert features organist extraordinaire David Briggs improvising a soundtrack in real-time for the Universal Classic silent horror film “Phantom of the Opera.” Produced by Carl Laemmle, directed by Rupert Julian and released in 1925, “Phantom of the Opera” stars Lon Chaney as the disfigured title character who preys upon an aspiring diva (Mary Philbin) at the Paris Opera House. Not just an iconic silent horror flick, “Phantom of the Opera” is one of the greatest ever films of any period or genre. At the controls of Spivey Hall’s fabulous 4,413-pipe Albert Schweitzer Memorial Organ, Briggs is sure to embellish the spooky cinematic proceedings with ghastly and dramatic musical accompaniment. – Doug DeLoach
