"The Sound Behind the Image"

Get your ghoul on this weekend with a horror lineup that includes an academy event and a graveside screening.

The Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences ushers in the Halloween weekend tonight at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater with its "The Sound Behind the Image III: Real Horrorshow!" event hosted by Oscar-winning sound editor David E. Stone.

The evening will trace the evolution of sound in horror films from the silent era (1925's "The Phantom of the Opera") to today's digital age (2008's "Cloverfield"). Also on hand will be Oscar-nominated sound effects editor Mark Mangini and Oscar winner Richard L. Anderson, who will offer a look at the sound effects for the 1982 classic "Poltergeist," as well as Oscar-winning production sound mixer Gene Cantamessa and supervising sound editor Don Hall, who will discuss their work on Mel Brooks' seminal 1974 comedy "Young Frankenstein."www.oscars.org.
