Monday, October 31, 2005 at 8 PM "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" Clark Wilson, organ The quintessential vampire movie, this "Symphony of Horror" is perfect for a Halloween tradition at Walt Disney Concert Hall. In this nightmarish tale adapted from Dracula by master director F.W. Murnau, Max Schreck's vampire spreads like a plague across Europe, haunting all who cross his path. The film was shot mostly on location – a huge innovation for 1922 – and includes various imaginative effects, each shown more clearly than ever in this newly restored print. With theater organist Clark Wilson accompanying on the Hall's organ, this is a revival you won't want to miss.
