ESTMIM Annual Halloween Show – “Hunchback of Notre Dame”

The Empire State Theatre & Musical Instrument Museum is back with its annual Halloween show with a live theatre pipe organ accompaniment to the 1923 horror drama silent feature film starring Lon Chaney as the “Hunchback of Notre Dame”.

Michigan’s John Lauter will provide the authentic musical accompaniment to one of Hollywood’s leading actors of the silent screen in his iconic role in the famous Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris France.

Freshly popped theatre popcorn and other refreshments will be provided and there will be free tours of the Wurlitzer Pipe Organ Chambers following the program.

General Admission Tickets: Adults $15, Children 16 and under $5 (cash only)

PLEASE NOTE: Our silent film programs are historically popular, so arriving early will guarantee best seats. Doors open at 1:30pm. All seating non-reserved general admission.

The Empire State Theatre & Musical Instrument Museum is located in the Wegmans Art & Home Center on the New York State Fairgrounds. It was established in 1966 as a Nonprofit and Educational Organization, Chartered by the New York State Board of Regents. The Wurlitzer organ was built in 1925 for the former RKO Keith’s Theatre in downtown Syracuse where it was used principally for silent film accompaniment and musical interludes. It was saved and reinstalled permanently in the Empire Theatre at the State Fairgrounds as the centerpiece of the theatre and musical instrument museum.
