Nosferatu
The City of Beaumont is celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the 1922 silent horror film, "Nosferatu," featuring live score by organist Tom Helms with haunting accompaniment, the Robert Morton Organ, at the Jefferson Theatre, on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at ticketmaster.com.
"Nosferatu" is a silent German Expressionist horror film directed by F.W. Murnau and stars Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a vampire who preys on the wife of his estate agent and brings the plague to their town.
The Robert Morton Wonder Organ, voiced particularly for the acoustics of the Jefferson Theatre, was installed on a platform that allows the organ to rise majestically from the orchestra pit to the stage level. The organ’s 778 pipes and many percussive effects produces a variety of sounds rivaling those of an actual orchestra. Hearing the organ in the theatre is a magical and unique opportunity.
