On Saturday, October 31, 2026, Academy Award-winning composer and director Michael Giacchino brings a Halloween doubleheader to the Walt Disney Concert Hall stage in Los Angeles: the sneak preview of a new musical ‘Headless’ and the movie ‘Werewolf by Night’ live to picture.

 

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION

The night kicks off with an exciting first look at Headless, a new musical from Michael Giacchino and collaborators Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson. Inspired by Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy HollowHeadless lures audiences into the bewitched town that has captivated audiences for over two hundred years, but this tale has a twist.

 

Following intermission, the orchestra performs the score of Giacchino’s Werewolf by Night live to picture performed by the LA Phil under the baton of Sarah Hicks. Called a “full-on endorphin rush for horror nerds,” Werewolf by Night follows a secret cabal of monster hunters thrust into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic that will bring them face-to-face with more than one monster. Inspired by the gothic-style horror films of the 1930s and 1940s, the chilling special brings Marvel’s horror comics history to life with style and suspense.
