Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922)

Saturday November 30th, 2024 – 7:00 pm
The Hollywood Theatre
4122 North East Sandy
Portland, OR 97212

Hollywood organist Dean Lemire will be performing his original score on our mighty Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ.

This was the very first “Dracula” film…and still reigns as the epic “grand-daddy”of all horror films. Starring Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a vampire who preys on the wife of his estate agent and brings the plague to their town.

While there have been countless remakes by filmmakers, trying to improve and capitalize on the success of NOSFERATU, none has really ever hit the mark…compared to the original (which, by the way,  has no blood and gore anywhere in the film). This iconic original stands alone….and one of those “you must see” films.

We will also be screening a very rare 1929 silent short, filmed in Portland!

“It’s not just a great horror movie. It’s a poem of horror, a symphony of dread, a film so rapt, mysterious and weirdly lovely it haunts the mind long after it’s over.” Michael Wilmington – Chicago Tribune

“It doesn’t scare us, but it haunts us. It shows not that vampires can jump out of shadows, but that evil can grow there, nourished on death.”Roger Ebert –  Chicago Sun-Times

“One of the best and most beautiful horror classics.  It is visually stunning, has great acting, and is one of the creepiest movies you’ll ever see, even today.”CinemaSiren
