Have a frightfully good time downtown, with games, ghost tales,
and a screening of ’Metropolis,’ the silent sci-fi classic film
Historic Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan will host a frightfully good time for the whole family on October 28, starting at 4 PM. Children are invited to the north churchyard to enjoy treats, face-painting, crafts and other fun, and chat with ’ghosts’ from old New York. The south churchyard will feature music and dancing where adults, if they dare, can try a ’spirited’ Haunted Hamilton cocktail or non-alcoholic beverage.
In the evening, Metropolis (1927) -- the silent, sci-fi masterpiece - will be screened, accompanied by a haunting score played by Peter Krasinski on Trinity’s virtual pipe organ. Metropolis tells the story of a futuristic society beholden to machines, whose distinct worlds of privileged thinkers and downtrodden workers ultimately clash
All are welcome to enjoy a safe night of Halloween fun at Trinity Church. Costumes encouraged!
Events are free and open to the public. Donations will be accepted.
