Ghouls’ Night Out
The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine presented its annual silent movie/procession of the ghouls program last Friday night to a sold out audience. Fans of the macabre got to see the original cut of “Nosferatu,” accompanied by a live organ player. What could be cooler than seeing a horror classic in one of the creepiest cathedrals in the world? Alas, St. John’s is under construction, so the show was much more intimate and scaffolding took away from some of the eerie factor, but the event is still one of the coolest Halloween displays in the city. The best part is Ralph Lee’s parade of creatures that go bump in the night. One by one they flowed eerily out of a smoke-filled hole from under the movie screen. Each character was meticulously detailed and the actors (some of them kids) stayed in character through the whole parade. Hopefully next year they will play “Hunchback of Notre Dame.â€
