Nosferatu (1922) is arguably the film that gave birth to the horror genre. Notable as the first cinematic interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, its combination of expressionistic acting and unforgettable images render it just as powerful and unsettling today as when it first thrilled cinema goers 100 years ago.

Musician Chris Green has created a new score which was originally commissioned by English Heritage for a live screening of the film at Dracula’s spiritual home of Whitby Abbey. I am excited to see this film and performance of Chris’s score live in the Music Room at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

Should be a good one, I love the film in it’s original silent form, so it will be interesting to see and hear it accompanied with a modern score.
