Cooper Memorial Organ's myriad colors and textures to take the audience through the twists and turns of this classic 1920s horror film. Following the film, audience members are invited to cross the line between spectator and performer by gathering onstage to experience Organ Pumps, where they can feel the organ's vibrations as it trembles through the wood floor and throughout the entire hall.
