Original score performed live by Chicago's Dropp Ensemble (led by Longbox recording artists Salvatore Dellaria and Adam Sonderberg).
On New Year's Eve three men drinking in a graveyard tell the story of the Phantom Carriage. The last sinner to die at the end of the year must drive the carriage of souls at the bidding of Death himself. One of the men laughs off the story but soon finds out that it is all to true. The Phantom Carriage employs dazzling superimpositions to capture the supernatural world of Death in this fantastic tale of redemption.
