Eureka! Entertainment and The Masters of Cinema Series are delighted to announce the Halloween 2013 theatrical and home video releases of an eagerly awaited new restoration of F. W. Murnau's legendary silent cinema horror classic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922), expertly restored in Germany by the world-renowned Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung (FWMS).

This revival of a horror classic, one of the most famous of all silent films, follows Eureka! Entertainment's hugely successful restoration showcases of Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) in 2010 and Carl Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) in 2012.

Nosferatu's UK theatrical run will be co-ordinated by Eureka! Entertainment and will open in selected cinemas nationwide on Friday October 25, 2013, just in time for Halloween. Blu-ray and DVD releases will follow with a raft of special features to be announced nearer the release date, as part of Eureka! Entertainment's award-winning The Masters of Cinema Series.

Steelbook confirmed via Twitter:

We're thrilled to announce that F. W. Murnau's masterpiece NOSFERATU will see a Halloween 2013 theatrical release, followed by MoC Blu-ray, in a new restoration. The Blu-ray and DVD will follow in November with new special features, and will be available in a SteelBook edition.

OMG, now this is an awesome news!

Best release of the year IMO

 

[Real Steel]

This calls for a great cover design. I would like the front cover to have him carrying the coffin embossed!

 

[Tacozilla]

Awesome, will buy it for sure! Monster monster!

Monster monster!

Great news. Will be interested to see what they can do with it considering how pristine their previous DVD release looked.

 

[Man of Steel]

I wouldn't buy this, but if the artwork is awesome I just may have to!

 

[Softwing]

Wow. Classic film. We're lucky to still have it at all. This is a release worth getting excited about!

Just remember to keep it out of the sun, or Orlok will vanish from the cover!

this is the one with the freaky bald pedo dracula right? i'd get this as i always wanted to see it, but i might be too scared to watch lol

 

[Jango]

great news. masters of cinema are quality steels.

Loads of great artwork around for this so the steel should look magnificent. I hope they aren't tempted to go with any gimmicky embossing, though. The MoC steels are extremely classy as they are and don't need it.

Will this release be available through Amazon? Thanks guys

Will this release be available through Amazon? Thanks guys

Too early to say but it should be. The only previous MoC steel I can think of that was an exclusive was Touch of Evil (via HMV)

 

[Apinamakina]

I have been waiting for this steelbook to be released like forever!

 

[ihategiantspiders]

Wow great news!

 

[Shanester]

Thank you Eureka!

This is outstanding news - Nosferato is THE vampire film that set the standard, this vampire and the one out of Salems Lot still scare the living daylights out of me. This is a day one purchase without a doubt!!

Nice!

Best release of 2013 so far. Forget your Thor's and Captain America's - This is pure class. Hoping for a top quality release.

It's been a while since we last had a Masters Of Cinema SteelBook release - I don't think we've had one this year so far. It will be nice to add to my small Eureka collection
