Do you fancy dancing to a vampire’s classic tune? A Russian composer has specially written a symphonic piece to go along with the landmark silent movie focusing on the Godfather of vampires, “Nosferatu”.
Inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the adapted-from-novel horror movie “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror” was released back in 1922.
However, due to serious problems with obtaining the rights to the novel, the court ordered all existing copies of “Nosferatu” be burnt.
Miraculously, one copy of the film survived, helping the quintessential vampire gain international recognition.
The film from the legendary German director Friendrich Wilhelm Murnau has been often described as “the best vampire movie ever made.”
On November 28, fans of the great vampire classics will get a first-ever chance to watch the silent “Nosferatu” while listening to the “Symphony of Horror” created by the trailblazing composer Iraida Yusipova.
The simultaneous cinematic display at the Moscow International House of Music promises to be freaky, creepy and scary.
