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.

Too Bad Dr. Mabuse: Der Spieler doesn't get the same treatment

Too Bad Dr. Mabuse: Der Spieler doesn't get the same treatment

I agree.

I guess Das Testament didn't sell enough to make a steelbook for Der Spieler.

Ordered from Amazon. £16.29 at checkout after VAT removal.

I've always wanted to see this movie. Now I guess I will see it in its best format ever.

I think the BFI are releasing Werner Herzog's remake of it next year so keep your eyes peeled for it - a good companion piece and it stars Klaus Kinski, Bruno Ganz and Isabella Adjani. I'm looking forward to both!

Amazon displaying slightly different artwork now:

I really like the Electiric Blue look.

 

[Apinamakina]

That blue colour doesn't fit there at all. Yuck!

But I ordered it anyway because it's a horror classic.

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

I prefer the old cover with no text covering the image, and i'm not sure what the blue will look like in hand, but does it really matter what it looks like, its a Nosferatu, in a steelbook

 

[SimonLDT]

Oh dear, what the hell happened? Hope it's just a poor mock-up. The half moon is cut off the front, text all over the image and it seems cropped at the bottom too.

 

[digitalbabe]

Oh god, what is with the blue....? Looks like Mabuse...as far as that weird edge....

[SimonLDT]

From Eureka:

Looks okay, I just wish the moon wasn't half hanging off the side edge.

 

[snooloui]

I know Eureka like to do plain backs, but they should at least be of similar colour to the front. This doesn't work at all. I won't be purchasing this anyway though.

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Oh, what happened there

 

[Steeler]

This was disappointing. I didn't expect Eureka to crop the image like that. And what's with that blue colour? A dark green, grey or black would have been so much better imo.

 

[tono06]

Really bad about the blank blue!
