Murnau, stands as an influential masterpiece of cinema and the horror genre. Though originally an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, the film became a groundbreaking work that set the template for horror filmmaking. The narrative follows Thomas Hutter, an estate agent drawn to Transylvania to meet the mysterious Count Orlok, only to discover the true nature of the vampire who plans to purchase a house near his own residence. Orlok's journey by ship to the German town of Wisburg brings plague and terror in his wake, culminating in Ellen Hutter's ultimate sacrifice to vanquish the creature with sunlight at dawn. Nosferatu revolutionized vampire lore by being the first film to show a vampire destroyed by exposure to daylight, departing from earlier literary traditions. With its eerie, gothic atmosphere and enduring influence on horror cinema, Nosferatu maintains a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and entered the public domain worldwide in 2019, making this rare screening experience accessible and unforgettable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE MUSICIANS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrian Haas – Pianist and Composer \u003c\/strong\u003e- A classically trained pianist who excelled early, winning the Oklahoma Concerto Competition at sixteen and performing with the Tulsa Philharmonic, Haas transitioned into jazz during his studies at the University of Tulsa on a classical music scholarship.
