Nosferatu (soundtrack, effect, member, track, history)

Described by F. W Murnau himself as 'A Symphony of Horror', the Hans Erdmann score that accompanies this film is one of the most effective in the history of cinema. Coupled with the use of lighting, setting and the repugnant Count Orlok, the score contributes heavily to the esteem still felt for this masterpiece.

Thoughts?

I have seen the film, but I don't remember the soundtrack very well, it was years ago. I'll work on getting it right away.

I have the Type O Negative soundtrack dvd and I think it works extremely well but then I do have a soft spot for them. I should really check out other versions. Nosferatu is a brilliant film despite it being over 85 years old.
