Free screening of classic vampire flick Nosferatu” gets live soundtrack”
Musician Felipe Barral plays his score for F.W. Murnau’s silent film
Once upon a time, as Creative Loafing contributor Curt Holman pointed out in a recent cover story, vampires didn’t sparkle. They weren’t conflicted. They didn’t sulk. And they didn’t recite love poetry to angsty, lip-biting teens in sun-dappled meadows. They were, in a word, scary.
This Halloween season, why not kick things off by revisiting the great grand-daddy of all scary movie vampires with a viewing of the 1922 silent film classic Nosferatu? The film will have three free screenings this week at the Goat Farm Arts Center on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, October 24-26, at 9 p.m. each night. Even better: The films will have live musical accompaniment performed by Atlanta composer and musician Felipe Barral. All the screenings are free and open to the public.
