And you thought clowns were scary! Join me for a suite from David Whitaker’s score for “Vampire Circus,” on this week’s “Picture Perfect.”

It’s part of an hour of music from movies set under the Big Top, including “The Greatest Show on Earth” (Victor Young), “Trapeze” (Malcolm Arnold), “La Strada” (Nino Rota), “Big Top Pee-Wee” (Danny Elfman), and “7 Faces of Dr. Lao” (Leigh Harline).

That’s a clown car full of calliopes! The circus train rolls into town this week, on “Picture Perfect” – now at a new time – SATURDAY EVENING AT 6:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org
