Nosferatu: Silent Film

**Nosferatu: Silent Film** Experience the haunting brilliance of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 German Expressionist masterpiece, *Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror*. In this unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s *Dracula*, estate agent Thomas Hutter ventures to the foreboding castle of the mysterious Count Orlok to finalize a real‑estate deal, only to uncover the Count’s true identity as a revenant vampire. Orlok’s chilling pursuit brings plague and death to Hutter’s hometown, weaving a tale of dread that has defined vampire cinema for generations. Admire Max Schreck’s iconic portrayal of the gaunt, rat‑like Count Orlok, whose silhouette has become inseparable from the vampire legend. The film’s atmospheric lighting, shadow play, and stark imagery establish foundational tropes—from the menacing vampire’s silhouette to the disease‑connected menace that haunts every frame—cementing its status as a visual cornerstone of horror. Join live organ maestro Jay Spencer as he lifts the silent frames into a living soundscape on the E.M. Skinner Pipe Organ, Opus 582, a custom-built marvel for Stambaugh Auditorium. The resonant keywork will immerse you in the film’s eerie ambiance, turning every moment into an unforgettable auroral experience. For details and tickets, visit our external link.
