Chatterbox Audio Theater Releases Live THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI Recording
Just in time for Halloween, Chatterbox Audio Theater, Memphis's only web-based theater company, is proud to announce the release of its live soundtrack for THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. Performed live at the McCoy Theatre at Rhodes College in 2012, the production finds the Chatterbox team adding voices, music, and sound effects to the classic silent horror film. The full production runs approximately 52 minutes and is now available for free streaming through YouTube and www.chatterboxtheater.org.
Released in 1920, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI is considered one of the first horror movies ever made. It is also a classic of German Expressionism, featuring memorably stylized sets, makeup, and costumes. The macabre story follows the evil Dr. Caligari and Cesare, the somnambulist -- or sleepwalker -- under his command. After setting up shop at the town fair, Caligari and Cesare begin telling fortunes, all of which seem to involve the subject's untimely death, and all of which have a strange tendency to come true.
