Two Silent Films Featuring Original Live Scores by the Quarkestra Orchestra at Landmark's Nuart Theatre!
Sun, September 20 at 7:00pm
HÄXAN (1922):
Grave robbing, torture, possessed nuns, and a satanic Sabbath: Benjamin Christensen’s legendary Häxan uses a series of dramatic vignettes to explore the scientific hypothesis that the witches of the Middle Ages suffered the same hysteria as turn-of-the-twentieth-century psychiatric patients. But the film itself is far from serious—instead, it’s a witches’ brew of the scary, gross, and darkly humorous.

NOSFERATU (1922):
Subtitled A Symphony of Horror and shot in the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania and in Germany, director F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu—an unauthorized version of Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula—is considered by many to be the greatest vampire movie of all time. A long time ago in middle Europe, a decrepit, forbidding castle stood, casting an ominous shadow over the townspeople who dare not look upon it. The unholy dwelling is home to one Count Orlok (Max Schreck), an undead night creature with a taste for human blood. Into this picture steps Hutter, an unwary traveler visitor to the Count, with the deed for a property Orlok wishes to buy in Hutter's home town of Wisborg. That night, in preparation for the long sea voyage ahead, the vampire hastily loads his coffin aboard ship and waits.... Once at sea, Orlock bares his fangs and upon arrival in Wisborg, leaves behind a floating morgue. Now, preparing to feast on the citizens, the cadaverous count prowls the darkness as the eerie Nosferatu.
