East Lynne Theater Company presents NOSFERATU

Hutter, a real estate agent, visits Count Orlok at his remote castle in the Carpathian Mountains because the count wishes to buy a house in town – “a deserted one.” On his way to the castle, Hutter visits an inn, where all of the customers fall silent when he mentions Orlok’s name. He laughs off all the signs of gloom and doom, until, while dining with the count, he cuts himself with a bread knife and the count comments, “Blood – your beautiful blood!”

East Lynne Theater Company presents “Nosferatu” (1922), the silent horror classic based on Dracula with live organ accompaniment by Wayne Zimmerman. Wayne has been playing for ELTC’s silent film series since 2011. Roger Ebert and other critics have praised this film for its alarming imagery.
