On the evening of Sunday, August 10, the Popcorn Frights Film Festival in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will host a 100th anniversary presentation of the Lon Chaney classic Phantom of the Opera, with a live original score by Slavvy.

Individual tickets for each screening are availble for about $17 each, or you can get a pass for the entire festival, which runs August 7-17.
Here is the Popcorn Frights description of Phantom Of The Paradise:
DATE: Sunday, August 10
TIME: 8:00PM
VENUE: Savor Cinema Fort LauderdaleEXPERIENCE A TALE OF TWO PHANTOMS IN ONE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT! CELEBRATE 100 YEARS OF THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA WITH A LIVE ORIGINAL SCORE, THEN ROCK OUT WITH A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME SCREENING OF BRIAN DE PALMA’S PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE!
Get ready to sell your soul for rock ‘n’ roll! Popcorn Frights is summoning all glam rock ghouls and horror hounds for a once-in-a-lifetime special presentation of Brian De Palma’s cult classic PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE—a mind-melting fusion of FAUST, FRANKENSTEIN, and glam rock fury that will leave your jaw on the sticky theater floor. This is not just another screening. This is a rare, electrifying event that will never happen again in quite this way. We’re not saying it’s legendary… but we’re also not NOT saying it.
This psychedelic rock opera fever dream features an Oscar-nominated score by the one and only Paul Williams (who also stars as the devilishly smooth music mogul Swan) and stars William Finley as the doomed and masked Phantom, plus a knockout performance by Jessica Harper (SUSPIRIA) and scene-stealing glam chaos from Gerrit Graham as Beef.
But that’s not all—this special screening will be introduced by The Swan Archives’ Principal Archivist Ari Kahan, the foremost historian and guardian of PHANTOM lore, who’s bringing exclusive insight and rare treats that will make this a screening for the ages. Trust us—you’ve never seen the film like this, and odds are you never will again.
Whether you’re a die-hard Phantom Phan or a first-time initiate into the cult, this is your chance to experience the film in its full, phantasmagoric glory.
One night only. One stage. One swan. Don’t miss your shot at cinematic immortality.
