Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horrors
Music The silent masterpiece with a brand-new live score Sat 15 Nov 2025, 7:45pm The ForgeNosferatu (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.
Chris Green’s (Poldark, Shakespeare's Globe) new score was commissioned by English Heritage for a live outdoor screening of the film at Dracula’s spiritual home of Whitby Abbey. The music is a haunting blend of electronic and acoustic instruments performed live by the composer and makes for a genuinely remarkable and special experience.
