Nosferatu - A Symphony of Horror. Screening and Original Score by Gramps the Vamp Saturday, Oct 28th Only

ChiIL Live Shows On Our Radar 

Nosferatu - A Symphony of Horror

Screening and Original Score by Gramps the Vamp

Here at ChiIL Live Shows, we're jazzed to partner up with WBEZ to promote their spine chilling seasonal screening this Saturday, in the hauntingly beautiful and possibly haunted Studebaker Theater. I adore Nosferatu, the original 1922 vampire thriller, and Chicago's own groovy ghouls, Gramps the Vamp, too. I've seen them at Sleeping Village before and they were so much fun live. This weekend's packed with Halloween possibilities in Chi, IL, but if you're still seeking some macabre fun, check out this fangtastic one night only happening. I can't wait to see Nosferatu and Gramps the Vamp paired up. 

Event details

Event description

In 1922, a single film altered the course of cinema and established the essence of screen-based horror. After more than a century later, and featuring numerous reinterpretations, F.W. Murneau’s Nosferatu firmly cements its position as the genre cornerstone, captivating audiences with a blend of fear, fascination and fright.

Relive the experience at the historic (and possibly haunted) Studebaker Theater on Saturday, October 28 for a special Halloween screening accompanied by an original score* from Chicago’s own doom funk band, Gramps the Vamp. The film will be presented in its original color restoration and German intertitles.

You won’t want to miss this bloody good time.

A limited number of event posters designed by Chicago-based illustrator Ryan Duggan will be available for purchase online.

Artist Bio

Gramps The Vamp is a genre-bending instrumental ensemble that has been exploring the dark corners of heavy groove-based music since 2011. Corralling its eclectic influences (funk, world fusion, surf-rock, jazz, psychedelia, heavy metal, avant-garde) with a unifying retro-cinematic aesthetic, Gramps The Vamp weaves tight grooves, wild experimentation, and lush melodies together into a post-apocalyptic dance party.

*Originally commissioned by the Chicago Park District’s Movies in the Parks.

YOB, who recently announced the release of their eighth album, Our Raw Heart, on June 8 via Relapse Records, share “The Screen” on Rolling Stone HERE as the Oregon trio reveal the album artwork and pre-orders are made available.

Our Raw Heart was co-produced by the band and Billy Barnett at Gung Ho Studio in Eugene, Ore., with mastering handled by Heba Kadry (The Mars Volta, Diamanda Galas, Slowdive). Decibel Magazine and Stereogum named the release as one of their most anticipated albums of 2018.

YOB’s most recent release, Clearing the Path to Ascend, was one of 2014’s most heralded releases, with Rolling Stone saying the music “makes perfect bedfellows of volume and beauty, pain and transcendence.” Stereogum said the four-track album offers “a universe unto itself” while Decibel said the songs were “as riveting as you could ever hope for them to be.”
