Get a double dose of scary with Movies & Music on the Lawn and Terror Tuesdays

Movies & Music on the Lawn combines German horror and metal band Thou

Head out to Movies & Music on the Lawn for a showing of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and an original score by celebrated local band Thou.

The summer film series, hosted by Baton Rouge Gallery, pairs popular silent films with local bands, who will perform a never-before-heard score during the film.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a 1920 German horror film, tells the story of an insane hypnotist who uses a sleepwalker to commit murders.

Baton Rouge sludge metal band Thou was formed in 2005. Its 2014 album Heathens was named by Pitchfork as the best metal album of the year.

Admission is $7, but BRG members get in free. Popcorn is included with price of admission.

The event kicks off at 8 p.m. Purchase tickets in advance here. Movies & Music on the Lawn will be held tomorrow, Sept. 29, at the gallery, 1515 Dalrymple Drive.
