In this highly influential silent horror film, the mysterious Count Orlok (Max Schreck) summons Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to his remote Transylvanian castle in the mountains. The eerie Orlok seeks to buy a house near Hutter and his wife, Ellen (Greta Schroeder). After Orlok reveals his vampire nature, Hutter struggles to escape the castle, knowing that Ellen is in grave danger. Meanwhile Orlok's servant, Knock (Alexander Granach), prepares for his master to arrive at his new home.

About the Live Score: 

Fans, theaters and media have praised The Invincible Czars' soundtrack  for making the near century-old movie “actually scary” for modern day audiences since they debuted it in 2015. the band has performed well over 100 times across the US and Canada.  In 2021, they updated the soundtrack to include drums and little more rock edge while retain their signature delicate creepiness.

Using a mix of acoustic and electric instruments helped.  Violin, glockenspiel, organ, flute, bass clarinet, voices and vocals, music box, loops, electric guitar, bass, piano and percussion all play prominent roles in the score and are a sight to behold when performed live by only four or five players! 

The Invincible Czars encourage fans and attendees to dress for the Halloween season at these shows - even when it's not close to Halloween.
