Mary Shelly's classic novel "Frankenstein" has inspired a sea of horror books and films since it was first published in 1818—but did you know it is also the inspiration for great classical music? On Friday, October 18, and Saturday, October 19, at the TMA’s Peristyle Theater, join the Toledo Symphony Orchestra as they bring the deranged "Frankenstein!!" to life through both music and storytelling. Featuring the TSO's own Bob Clemens as chansonnier, the program highlights a variety of ghoulish classics. From Arnold's “Tam O' Shanter Overture” to Gruber's “Fran- kenstein!!” and Bach's “Toccata & Fugue,” this jam-packed show has a little bit of everything.

Tickets are available at toledosymphony.com. 8pm. $22-$38. Toledo Museum of Art, 2445 Monroe St. 419-246-8000
