The month of October, to coincide with the theme "Darkness" as well as Halloween, will feature dark, horror films.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

Directed by Robert Wiene from a screenplay written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer.

It is one of the earliest, most influential and most artistically acclaimed German Expressionist films.

Critics worldwide have praised the film for its Expressionist style, complete with wild, distorted set design. Caligari has been cited as an influence on film noir, recognized as the first modern horror film ever, and a model for directors for many decades.

The film tells the story of the deranged Dr. Caligari and his faithful sleepwalking Cesare, and their connection to a string of murders in a German mountain village, Holstenwall.
