Halloween Gothic Film Screening

Overview

This Halloween, throw on your most terrifying outfit and head to Pipitea's Gothic Revival building for a spooky masterpiece of cinema. After a 15-month seismic strengthening project, Old St Paul's is back open for business.

Showing on the big screen at the heritage venue on Saturday, October 31 will be F.W. Murnau's 1922 classic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horrors (Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens). This German expressionist horror film stars Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a vampire with an interest in both a new residence and the wife (Greta Schröder) of his estate agent (Gustav von Wangenheim). Nosferatu is an unauthorised and unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula.

Before the masterpiece transports you to the creepiest castle in all of the Carpathian Mountains, visitors can explore the Gothic Revival building, browse novels in the Unity Books pop-up shop, and sip on a cocktail from the bar. There will prizes for the best dressed. Doors open at 6.30pm and the film starts at 8pm.
