Fright Night: Silent Movie Screening with Live Score
Silent Screen Scotland returns with 'Fright Night: Silent Movie Screening', a candlelit screening of Nosferatu accompanied by live score in the gothic surroundings of St. Vincent's Chapel.
About Fright Night: Silent Movie Screening with Live Score
The gothic surroundings of St. Vincent's Chapel will once again provide the atmospheric setting for the screening on Thursday 31st October. Accompanied by a live pianist performing the original score by Hans Erdmann, this classic of the horror genre from 1922 will be projected onto a 12 foot screen. This event is suitable for ages 10+.
“Nosferatu" – the infamous 1922 German adaption of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula” was an unauthorised and unofficial adaption of Stoker’s vampire classic. It sees various names and other details changed from the novel, including Count Dracula being renamed Count Orlok. It is believed by many that these changes were implemented in an attempt to avoid accusations of copyright infringement. Even with several details altered, Stoker’s heirs sued over the adaption – at one point all copies of the film were ordered to be destroyed! Thankfully a few prints of “Nosferatu” survived and the film came to be regraded as an influential masterpiece of cinema.
Tickets are priced at £10 each and can be purchased through Eventbrite (booking fee applies). Each screening of an abridged Nosferatu has a running time of c60mins. Tickets are not transferable between screenings. Children must have their own ticket and be accompanied by a paying adult. Please note that alcohol is not permitted in the venue. Venue staff reserve the right to refuse admission.
Please note that tickets are non-refundable except in the event that the screening is cancelled (booking fees are non-refundable).
