Get Ready to Succumb to the Darkness with Limited ‘Nosferatu: The Immersive Experience’ Live Event! [Exclusive]
Get ready to venture into the cemetery for a new can’t-miss horror event. We’re excited to exclusively share that, in anticipation of Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, Focus Features, Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, and Bloody Disgusting have today announced Nosferatu: The Immersive Experience.
The immersive three-night live event will open at Los Angeles’ Masonic Lodge in Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where guests will succumb to the darkness of Eggers’ gothic horror.
Through carefully curated dark spaces, guests can…
- Observe screen-used props, occult artifacts, relics, and costumes.
- Revel in the eerie soundscape and epic score from the film’s composer Robin Carolan.
- Encounter strange inhabitants.
- Uncover the place where Count Orlok lies.
- Indulge in themed spirits, merchandise, and more
Nosferatu: The Immersive Experience takes place December 16th-18th from 7:30-11:30 p.m. A limited allotment of tickets are on sale now at nosferatuexperience.com, so don’t hesitate.
The R-rated Nosferatu “is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.” Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe star.
It’s an event sure to get you hyped for Eggers’ stunning adaptation. I wrote in my review that “Eggers reinterprets Murnau’s seminal work as a psychosexual gothic tragedy that transforms this adaptation into a mesmeric macabre masterpiece.” And, “It’s so impeccably crafted, boasting production design and values rarely seen in horror like this, without sacrificing the taboo-pushing, visceral horror in the process. It’s operatic and dramatic, bold and revolting, with a powerful final shot for the ages.”
Focus Features’ Nosferatu releases in theaters on December 25, 2024.

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
