Nosferatu

Plays Friday, October 19 at 7pm at the Michigan.

This very special presentation of the1922 film classic will have live organ accompaniment on the Michigan Theater's grand Barton Organ by the Michigan's gifted organist, Stephen Warner (who will play an original score he wrote). An Ann Arbor tradition continues with Nosferatu - the first vampire movie! A real estate agent (Gustav von Wangenheim) begins conducting business with the eerie Count Orlok (the beyond-creepy Max Schreck), who goes on a rampage when he becomes obsessed with the man's beautiful wife. Roger Ebert said it best about this Michigan Theater Halloween tradition: "[Nosferatu] doesn't scare us, but it haunts us. It shows not that vampires can jump out of the shadows, but that evil can grow there, nourished on death."

Special ticket prices apply.
