Silent-era organ provides soundtrack for 1922 horror film in Ann Arbor

We sit behind the organ at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, where a screening of the 1922 classic silent horror film Nosferatu will be accompanied by the Michigan’s grand Barton organ.

Halloween arrives Saturday and the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor is getting in the mood.  On Tuesday night, there’s a showing of the classic silent horror film "Nosferatu," directed by F.W. Murnau.

 

Current State’s Jamie Paisley talks with organist Stephen Warner about the show.
