About this Event
F.W. Murnau's timeless 1922 horror masterpiece, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, is widely regarded to be the first and best vampire film ever made and 102 years on, it can still chill the blood.
Join us in the lead up to Halloween for a screening of this silent cinematic jewel with an original score performed live by composer and multi-instrumentalist, Edwin Montgomery.
Using loop pedals and ghostly distortions, Edwin works with synths, violin, guitar, theremin, mandolin, voice and percussion to create an eerie, and provocative soundscape for this darkly Gothic movie. This is the way Nosferatu should be experienced.
Dress for Halloween and bring someone to hold onto.

Running time 90 minutes. Contains violence and horror themes. Recommended for ages 13+.
