1. ArtScience on Scream
What If you have ever wondered what the first horror movie ever made looks like, the ArtScience Museum has the answer on its big screen this Halloween. To mark the 100th anniversary of the German silent horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, the digitally restored version will be screened at the museum's expression gallery this month for fellow film buffs to catch. For the uninitiated, the film was originally directed by Robert Wiene and is widely considered to be the original cult film and precursor to arthouse cinema. Its visual style is the prime example of the German expressionist cinema as well, categorised by its dark forms and shadows with landscapes that twist in unusual angles.
Besides The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a series of five short films by American filmmaker David Lynch will also be on show, including Six Men Getting Sick (1967) which eventually became the precursor to Lynch's famed cult hit, Eraserhead (1977).
