Just in time for spooky season, the popular Candlelight Halloween Series in Oklahoma City is bringing a set of concerts dedicated to celebrating the evocative melodies of Halloween classics that continue to equally fascinate us and torment our dreams.
Prepare to hear jarring dissonances and eerie melodies from films like The Addams Family, Psycho, Halloween and Ghostbusters, as well as ooky-spooky compositions such as “Danse Macabre” by Camille Saint-Saëns. As you sit in the historic Yale Theater, illuminated only by flickering candles, you’ll fall under the spell of these classics and more.
A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics
The popular Candlelight series invites you to spend the spookiest time of year in Oklahoma City listening to iconic Halloween songs that have become synonymous with the holiday. Whether it’s soundtracks from some of the most popular horror movies or spine-tingling songs and compositions, these haunting tunes send shivers down your spine.
For instance, the screeching violins of the Psycho theme composed by Bernard Herrmann, or the chilling piano notes from John Carpenter’s Halloween theme, these Halloween classics possess an eerie power that have haunted our nightmares since their release. Played masterfully by Listeso String Quartet, you’ll revisit some of your darkest thoughts and most terrifying movie scenes as you’re enveloped in the warm glow of candlelight at Yale Theater.
You can share this unique Candlelight concert with a loved one or your friends, or you can even go on your own, that is, if you dare.
This season, there are two performances taking place on each evening, at 6:00pm and 8:45pm. The concerts last 60 minutes and the doors open 60 minutes prior to the start of the show, giving you plenty of time to find your seating section and even snap a few pre-show photos.
