London Month of the Dead

NOSFERATU (1922) Directed by F. W. Murnau An Evening of Silent Horror with Live Music Accompaniment on Sunday the 26th October 2025 at 7:30 pm Join us for an evening of early cinema with a screening of Nosferatu, the original silent adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, accompanied by a live musical score. Directed by F. W. Murnau, Nosferatu remains one of the most atmospheric and visually striking horror films ever made. With its stark lighting, distorted angles, and unforgettable performance by Max Schreck as Count Orlok, this 1922 classic defined the look of cinematic horror for generations to come. On this special autumn evening, as Halloween approaches, witness the eerie magic of this film brought vividly to life by acclaimed silent film accompanist Stephen Horne, performing his live score on piano. A rare chance to see one of the great masterpieces of German Expressionist cinema in a setting as evocative as the film itself. Dare you spend the evening with the undead?

Stephen Horne Stephen Horne has long been internationally considered one of the leading silent film accompanists. A house pianist at London’s BFI Southbank for over thirty years, he has played at all the major UK venues and recorded music for scores of films. Although principally a pianist, he often incorporates other instruments into his performances, sometimes simultaneously. He regularly performs internationally and in recent years his accompaniments have met with acclaim at film festivals in Europe, North America and Asia. In 2011 and 2012, he was commissioned to compose ensemble scores for the London Film Festival Archive Galas of 'The First Born' and 'The Manxman'. And every year since 2014, he has won in one or more categories in the annual Silent London poll.
