Some of your favorite spooky tracks, from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters theme, are getting the Candlelight Concerts treatment at "A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics."
The multi-sensory musical experience will reinterpret Halloween-inspired music under the gentle glow of candlelight at a pair of eerie venues: St Ann & the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn Heights on Thursday, October 26 and Friday, October 27 (with two seatings each night, at 6:30pm and 9pm), as well as at the Church of the Heavenly Rest on the Upper East Side on Wednesday, October 25 and Thursday, October 26 (with sessions at 7pm and 9:15pm each night).
On the musical program, you can expect to hear selections from some of your favorite horror movies performed by the Highline String Quartet, like John Carpenter's spine-chilling Halloween theme, Danny Elfman's Beetlejuice theme and The Nightmare Before Christmas medley and Bernard Herrmann's Psycho prelude, as well as classical numbers like Charles Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette" and Franz Schubert's "Der Erlkönig."
Tickets for the 60-minute performance range from $35 to $65, depending on which of the three zones you sit in. You can purchase them via the Candlelight Concerts website.
