Dennis James Hosts Halloween

The evening begins with a live radio-style re-enactment of the Inner Sanctum mystery 'The Vengeful Corpse,' performed by student actors from IU's Department of Theatre and Drama. Dennis James then plays live solo organ accompaniment on the auditorium's pipe organ to two classic silent comedies: Laurel & Hardy's 'Habeas Corpus' and Buster Keaton's 'The Haunted House'.
