An infernal epic enhanced by an original soundtrack performed live beneath the screen by The Makabra Ensemble.
Directed by Guido Brignone
Starring Bartolomeo Pagano, Umberto Guarracino, Lucia Zanussi
New soundtrack by The Makabra Ensemble
Having created new original soundtracks to classic silent films and performing them live for over a decade, THE MAKABRA ENSEMBLE returns to their favourite spot beneath the big screen as an institution of the HorrorFest's all-encompassing Halloween celebration.
The Makabra Ensemble will breathe new life into this cinematic classic, the live soundtrack composers & performers consisting of members from TERMINATRYX / ISOBEL / V.O.D / F8 (Sonja Ruppersberg & Paul Blom), LARK (Simon "Fuzzy" Ratcliffe & Sean Ou Tim aka MR. SAKITUMI also performing with JEREMY LOOPS), classical music genius Matthijs Van Dijk and Ronnie Belcher (also from TERMINATRYX as well as THE DAMNED CROWS).
The group utilizes a wide range of acoustic and electronic instruments, voice, effects and sound design, giving the film a brand new perspective.
The Makabra Ensemble has performed their soundtracks to a range of classic silent films since 2005 at the South African HorrorFest Film Festival, Oppi Koppi Music Festival, Sound On Screen film festival, Celludroid Sci-Fi film festival, Sound & Motion Studios’ White Room Sessions etc.
Visit www.terminatryx.com/makabra for more information on the band.
While viewers are encouraged to dress up as their favourite Halloween-, movie-, TV- or literary monsters (or any ghoulish, freaky costumes & make-up) throughout the HorrorFest's duration, this live soundtrack screening is where the best dressed winners will be selected (incl. prizes).
