The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari with Live On-Stage Musical Score
Wednesday, October 25th at 9 pm
Part 2 of a Halloween Double-Feature with Nosferatu at 6:30pm!
This Halloween season, The Invincible Czars bring their nightmarish-ly fun soundtrack to the world’s first feature-length horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari with an immersive combined live soundtrack experience that transports audiences back 100+ years via an age-old tale accompanied by a chilling, tastefully-modern score featuring an impressive blend of traditional acoustic and present-day electric instruments. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari inspired modern day filmmaker Tim Burton and musicians like David Bowie with its strikingly modern visuals. Its craggy edges, disjointed backgrounds and heavy make-up have earned this dark fairy tale a reputation as the quintessential German Expressionist film. Its twist ending is also considered the first in cinematic history (and something Rod Sterling’s The Twilight Zone capitalized upon in the 1960s.)
The Invincible Czars had originally planned this massive tour for spring 2020 in celebration of the movie’s centennial but it was all shutdown due to the CoVid-19 pandemic. Now they’re excited to finally bring their fantastical live soundtrack for this surreal fantasy to audiences all over North America for its 103rd anniversary. (1921, 1h 9m)
All tickets $20, or both features for $35. Naro ticket books are not valid for this event.

Nosferatu with Live On-Stage Musical Score
Wednesday, October 25th at 6:30 pm
Part 1 of a Halloween Double-Feature with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligary at 9pm!
The Invincible Czars are bringing their updated soundtrack back to The Naro for 2023’s Halloween season. Nosferatu is most certainly the most important horror film of the silent era and one of the first vampire movies — though it was almost completely lost when Bram Stoker’s widow sued the filmmakers for copyright infringement and most of the prints of the movie were destroyed. Using a mix of acoustic and electric instruments helped. Violin, glockenspiel, organ, flute, bass clarinet, voices and vocals, music box, loops, electric guitar, bass, piano and percussion all play prominent roles in the score and are a sight to behold when performed live by only four or five players! The Invincible Czars encourage fans and attendees to dress for the Halloween season at these shows – even when it’s not close to Halloween. (1922, 94 min.) All tickets $20, or both features for $35. Naro ticket books are not valid for this event.
“Bizarre, haunting scores”– Kerrang!
“(The Invincible Czars’ soundtrack for Nosferatu is) a brilliantly realized wedding of contemporary musical sensibility and technology with early 20th century cinema.” – Chico News Review

When Chucky kills Andy’s baby sitter, the boy realizes the doll is alive and tries to warn people, but he’s institutionalized. Now Karen must convince the detective of the murderous doll’s intentions, before Andy becomes Chucky’s next victim. This is the well-reviewed original! (1988, R, 1h 27m)

Friday the 13th *Fright Night*
Friday, October 13th at 9:30pm!
Against the advice of locals and police, Clay (Jared Padalecki) scours the eerie woods surrounding Crystal Lake for his missing sister.

Hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees lies in wait for a chance to use his razor-sharp machete on Clay and the group of college students who have come to the forest to party. Although it launched a franchise with sequels and spin-offs galore, critics have rated this 1980 original the best of the bunch. (1980, 95 min.)

Rescued by a deep salvage team during her hypersleep, Ripley learns that the planet where her crew discovered the alien has since been settled by colonists, but contact with the colony has been lost. Colonial marines, along with Ripley as an advisor, are sent to investigate — but will their impressive firepower be enough? Several future stars made early career appearances in Aliens, including Lance Henriksen, the late Bill Paxton, and Paul Reiser. (1986, R, 138mins)
“Sigourney Weaver is merely terrific… When she straps on her armament to do battle with the aliens, she makes Sylvester Stallone look like a pipsqueak.” – Bob Thomas, Associated Press
“Scene to scene, encounter to encounter, its tension builds unrelentingly. So, fasten your seat belts. It’s a blast.” – Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune
