An experience that brings the dark charm of the 20s with a contemporary twist, The Unsilent Picture is a sensational Sleepy Hollow event.
An original silent film shot in black and white around Van Cortlandt Manor echoes the tale of local legend Washington Irving’s The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture. Dr. Geoffrey Crayon is a vegetarian on a hunting trip, played by Tony award winner Bill Irwin. See what happens when a man of science has to sleep a night in a haunted room! 
On one side of the screen, a live band including an accordion, cello and electric guitar accompanies the silent movie, creating an eerie soundtrack. On the other side is a Foley artist, who produces live sound effects like a glass breaking or the creak of a floorboard.
This isn’t just an ordinary movie, but a unique and unforgettable live performance. In a 444-seat tent theater located in Philipsburg Manor, the short film lasts 40 minutes and runs through October 31st.
