The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

Stay away from that sideshow attraction and watch out for murderous sleepwalkers because we're discussing Robert Weine's classic 1920 silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, believed by many to be the first true horror film ever made!

Join us as we go on a tour of pre-WWII German history and learn about German Expressionism to see how Caligari came to be. But more importantly: to acknowledge the importance of this seminal film that has influenced countless film directors in the 105 years(!!!) since its initial release.
