Oct 28, 2007: Nosferatu at Michigan Theater
Vintage creeper film “Nosferatu” returns to the Michigan Theater’s historic auditorium screen on Sunday, October 28 at 7 pm. The 1922 silent classic directed by F.W. Murnau will feature live accompaniment by Steve Ball on the Barton Theater Organ. Tickets go on sale Sunday, September 30.
It’s scary in a good way. Though not for the smallest toddlers, the film is appropriate for families. In keeping with the evening’s entertainment, audience members are invited to wear Halloween costumes.
Critics and film scholars alike applaud the film’s amazing power.
“Nosferatu is quite possibly the most amazing of all vampire films…not simply because it was the very first vampire film. Nor is it because it survives today despite a lawsuit by Bram Stoker’s widow over its uncredited and outright theft of the plot of Dracula (1897), a suit that ended with an order for all prints of the film to be destroyed. (Luckily for us they weren’t). But it amazes most because it was – at least until Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) – the most cinematic of all vampire films. — Richard Scheib, Moria, the Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
