Join us at Lancaster Priory for a Special Screening of the 1927 comedy-horror The Cat and The Canary, with a live musical score.

One of the most influential films in the early history of American genre cinema, which perfected the “old dark house” formula and set the stage for the Universal horror cycle of the 1930s.

Twenty years after the death of a millionaire, his surviving relatives are called together in a decaying mansion to hear his last will and testament. As the family settles in for the evening, tensions rise when they are informed that a murderer nicknamed The Cat has escaped from a nearby asylum and is suspected to be somewhere on the grounds.

Neil Brand has been a silent film accompanist for over 30 years and is regarded as one of the best in the country. He has scored several BFI releases including Alfred Hitchcock’s The Ring and Anthony Asquith’s Underground. Neil is also a TV presenter with the hugely successful series Sound of Cinema, The Music that Made the Movies and Sound of Song, and he is a regular presenter on Radio 4’s Film Programme.
