8pm Movies

The Silent Movie Theatre’s Silent Horror Week continues this evening with F.W. Murnau’s 1922 classic “Nosferatu.” The luminous and eerie black-and-white film is to this day considered the best and most elegant of the Dracula films and Max Schreck makes an unforgettable vampire. Other creepy favorites in the series include the German Expressionist film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” (1919), Rupert Julian’s 1925 classic “Phantom of the Opera” with Lon Chaney as the ghoulish composer, and the decidedly more light-hearted talkie “Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein” (1948).
