Horror Film Themes Play by Candlelight in a 1927 Movie Palace

On Saturday, October 31, the Orchid Quartet plays one 60 minute set inside the TCL Chinese Theatre, a 1927 movie palace with a red seat auditorium under a gold ceiling. The program is officially tentative and runs through thriller and horror cues, from Thriller and the Psycho prelude to Tubular Bells from The Exorcist, the Beetlejuice main title and the Addams Family theme. The set is played under the glow of flameless candles, so the room stays in a warm, low light. Phones stay silent, and photos without flash are allowed only during the final piece, if the musicians signal it.

Seats are sold in five zones, with Premium closest to the stage and Zone D at the back, and places inside a zone go first come, first served. Tickets cost $30.78 to $83.16, booking fees already included. Zones B and D are the ADA accessible blocks. Everyone must be 8 or older, and guests under 16 bring an adult. Drinks and snacks are sold at the venue.

Doors open at 5:15 PM for the 6 PM start, entry closes five minutes before the first note, and late arrivals are turned away. Tickets sell through Fever only, never at the entrance. The Metro B Line stop at Hollywood/Highland is about two minutes on foot, and Ovation Hollywood runs a paid lot next door. Halloween fills the boulevard early, so plan the hour before doors. Amoeba Music, 20 minutes east, closes at 9 PM and suits a pre-show stop, while the Roosevelt and St Felix pour after the set.
