Travel back in time with the boisterous fun of America’s only Halloween magic lantern show. An authentic 1890s visual extravaganza projected on a full-sized screen—the kind of show that led to the movies! Halloween stories like Poe’s The Raven, spooky animated comedy, spiritualist slides of the dead visiting the living—all dramatized on-screen by a live showman and singer/pianist. The audience participates in the fun, creating sound effects, and joining in chants and hilarious sing-alongs like The Worms Crawl In. Plus, a modern take on an 18th century spook show, The Phantasmagoria.
The American Magic Lantern Theater is the nation's leading touring theater company recreating Victorian magic lantern shows. Over the last twenty-five years, Theater members have appeared in more than 1,000 performances, from Lincoln Center to Singapore.
