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.

I've had "Nosferatu" languishing in my shopping baskets at both amazon.co.uk and play.com for months now waiting for the price to drop. So jumped on both this and "Dr Mabuse: Der Spieler" for only £12 each.

Also took the opportunity to obtain the steelbooks of "Das Testament der Dr Mabuse", "Cleopatra" and "The Passion of Joan of Ark" for only £12.99 each.

Arrived today. Very well packaged. Can't believe that I got all 5 steelbooks for just under £63, post free. Incredible!

That's superb! I wasn't even aware that this existed!
Are you certain that's the steelbook, though? It looks like the photo they used there was of a standard BluRay case...

i got my copy today, i dont know how they mess a perfect front art with the crap thats is the back....i'm glad i could find it for a "reasonable" price! lol

It's an elegant steel, the back could've used some imagination and why they chose blue for the spine and back is anyone's guess but it kind of works. It's very much worth buying both the Eureka and BFI versions of this excellent film.
