The Ghost Train Orchestra will be performing on the afternoon of Halloween at a fantastical and inspired event produced by Dances of Vice at the Highline Ballroom in NYC celebrating the work of writer/illustrator Edward Gorey called Phantasmagorey.  And there's even a brunch, believe it or not.  The orchestra goes on at 1:50.  Tickets here.

The Sound of Horror airs Oct 22

By Brian Carpenter on October 12, 2010 11:18 AM

horror.gif"The Sound of Horror" is a 3-hour radio broadcast on sound design in modern horror and science-fiction films I debuted in 2003.  Since then, the program has been used in universities across the world in study of sound design. Included are clips, interviews, and examples of sound techniques used in classic director / sound designer collaborations such as David Lynch / Alan Splet (Eraserhead, Blue Velvet), Fr...ancis Ford Coppola / Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now, The Conversation), Alfred Hitchcock / Bernard Hermann (Psycho, The Birds), and Darren Aronofsky / Brian Emrich (Pi, Requiem For A Dream).

This year's program has been revised to include films outside the horror genre and new special guests to be announced. Interviews and guest appearances by sound designers Craig Henighan (Requiem For A Dream), Ren Klyce (Seven, Fight Club), Ron Nagle (The Exorcist), Sound Dogs superivising sound editor Stephen Barden, and Steven Jay Schneider, author of the books "Dark Thoughts: Philosophic Reflections on Cinematic Horror" and "Fear Without Frontiers".
