Celebrate Halloween symphonically this year. Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is performing the score from 1980s horror film Evil Dead at the Palais Theatre this October alongside a screening of the film.
For those who need a refresher, Evil Dead is the story of five university students who accidentally release evil demonic forces. It’s a gory, chaotic tale made more spine-tingling by the original score composed by Joe LoDuca. The MSO will be screening a freshly restored format of Evil Dead and has even roped in LoDuca for a live guest appearance.
See the MSO perform the re-imagined Evil Dead score at the Palais Theatre on Thursday, October 31 (yes, on Halloween itself). Evil Dead is rated R so leave the kids at home – the film is a certified pants-wetter even for adults.
