A monster mashup of film and music will celebrate the spooky season in New Orleans, as the original 1931 silent film "Frankenstein" is screened with a new musical score, presented by the New Orleans Film Society and performed live by the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.

The iconic sci-fi horror film stars Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster and Colin Clive as the mad scientist who repurposes body parts in his quest to create a new man. The story is based on the 1818 novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley.

The film was released with no score. However, an original score, by composer Michael Shapiro, will be performed live by the LPO to accompany the action. The screening and performance take place at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 3 at Loyola University's Roussel Hall.
