Vampire Movie Organ
From Scotsman
THE restored Usher Hall organ is set to ring out a symphony of terror to accompany a screening of the classic horror film Nosferatu.
The 1922 German movie is credited as being the first ever film version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and has inspired almost every version made since then.
It is one of the untouchable classics, that is for sure.
And audiences are to be treated to an experience its backers hope will recapture the atmosphere of going to the cinema in the early days of film.
The silent black and white German film was directed by FW Murnau and originally came with the warning “Nosferatu
- the name alone can chill the blood”.
It was a huge success when first released at the cinema, always accompanied by a resident organist providing the soundtrack.
What a night of horror film and sound.
