There might be no horrified screams without a suspenseful tune and less trembling minus the creepy details in horror films and scary songs. It’s the audible fear of Halloween that makes it special. Celebrate this October with a Candlelight Halloween concert in Charlotte.
There’s nothing like listening to the eerie melodies of The Exorcist, Halloween, The Night Before Christmas, and more, played by a talented string quartet, completely enveloped in the warm glow of hundreds of glimmering candles. May this spooky season be the darkest, scariest time of year!
Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics
Music in movies has the ability to enhance the emotional reactions we feel during certain scenes and particularly in horror films, music is an integral part of the filmmaking process, as it elevates that sense of fear, anxiety, and discomfort. Whenever we think of iconic horror films, we immediately associate their scores with gruesome storylines. From the possessed melodies of The Exorcist to the spine-tingling violins from Psycho, these haunted tunes bring forth iconic and traumatic scenes that have redefined the film genre.
Similarly, when we hear Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre”, we can’t help but think of how Death can be right around the corner, lurking in the shadows and waiting to appear on Halloween. This spooky season, bring out your jack-o’-lantern and listen to these and many more at a Candlelight concert that promises to be both unnerving and unforgettable.
There are few experiences as striking and haunting as listening to captivating renditions of some of the most iconic Halloween-themed songs and scores in some of Charlotte’s most stunning venues.
Swap trick or treating this year for a stunning tribute by candlelight that just like these soul-stirring and eerie songs, is sure to leave a mark on you. Shows will begin in October, with two performances each evening, at 7 pm and 9 pm, which gives you enough time to plan a pre- or post-show dinner as well.
