Candlelight: Best Horror Movie Soundtracks
What would Halloween be without our favourite horror movies and their spine-chilling soundtracks? A huge cause of the fear ignited by films such as The Shining and Halloween is their accompanying scores.

This October, Listeso String Quartet will be performing songs from these movies and many more while surrounded by thousands of candles inside Kerrisdale Presbyterian Church.
