NOSFERATU:
A SYMPHONY OF TERROR
Fri., Nov. 20, 7:30 PM

Rosendale Recreation Center Route 32, Rosendale. Nosferatu: A Symphony of Terror. Spend an exciting evening watching a timeless thriller with a captivating, original score. An exciting evening with a captivating, original score. Tickets prices for adults are only $10 and children are free. As always, the Rosendale Food Pantry greatly appreciates any non-perishable food donations as well.

The film, originally titled Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, is widely regarded as the best screen adaptation of the vampire legend. The film is loosely based on Bram Stoker's frightening novel, Dracula, however, there are many differences between the two versions of the story. In Nosferatu, the main character, Count Orlok, is not an appealing, well spoken gentleman as the vampire in Dracula, rather he looks more like a vicious rat, with his extra long fingernails and sharp incisors. In contrast to other vampire legends, Count Orlok does not create other vampires with his bite, but kills them with it. The film also originated the idea that vampires cannot be exposed to sunlight or they will turn to dust, a legend that is still included in most modern adaptations of the story.

Pair this fabulous vintage film with the mesmerizing, synthesized music of Broomhead/Snyder, who are sure to amaze us with their inventive, extemporaneous music, and you have a great night out.

Tickets can be purchased at the door or through brownpapertickets.com/event/86777
