Spokane Symphony Films at the Fox: Nosferatu

Sure, you could watch the entirety of Nosferatu on YouTube at home as the empty candy wrappers pile up, but the constant disruptions from trick-or-treaters at the door — and the tinny recording of the original film — just won’t cut it. Following up its chilling contributions to a February screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, the Spokane Symphony Orchestra's musicians provide the live score to what’s been called the “best silent horror film in cinema history.” An unauthorized film adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the silent film was released in 1922, and despite its age, it’s just as chilling to modern audiences. The Symphony is joined on stage by acclaimed pianist Rick Friend, a silent film cinephile who’s performed improv arrangements for silent films since his high school days. Costumes are encouraged at the show.
