As Halloween creeps closer, the international film music community along with horror and vampire-obsessed fans are Transylvania-bound in a pilgrimage to experience the Oct. 13 world premiere of horror music legend Christopher Young’s score to the 1922 silent vampire film classic, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horrors (Nosferatu), and a private after dark event at the notorious Bran Castle. The storied 14th-century hilltop castle’s guests have included Vlad the Impaler, Dracula and Nosferatu. The Nosferatu album with an original score by Christopher Young is distributed by Warner Classics and drops this fall.  For tickets to experience the macabre magic of “Nosferatu” like never before and attend this exclusive VIP event, visit www.costacomm.com/nosferatu.

The historic event presented by Warner Classics is produced by Costa Communications and NC Events.  It includes a dinner and screening at the Alpin Resort Hotel. Then guests will be shuttled to a private VIP reception, performance and tour of eerie torture rooms in the iconic 14^thcentury castle, the original inspiration for the home depicted in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula as well as the Werner Herzog Nosferatu film from the 1970s. Entertainment industry veteran, awards festival producer and PR expert Ray Costa, whose first film composer client was Christopher Young, conceived the special event after the success of a fan-based “Go Fund Me” campaign to have Young create a score for the classic silent film.  A 70 -piece orchestra from Zurich, Switzerland, the Tonhalle-orchester Zurich under the direction of Frank Strobel, recorded the original score.

As one of the most celebrated and versatile film composers, the Golden Globe and two-time Emmy-nominated Young has scored nearly two hundred films in virtually every genre, including many of the most popular and cult classic films of Horror cinema, such as the unsettling demonic orchestral-and-choral scores for Hellbound and Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Sinister, Pet Sematary, The Grudge, and Deliver Us from Evil, to name a few.

He most recently composed the music for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities and the Netflix and AppleTV+ series Echo 3. Other notable credits include the scores for Swordfish, Lasse Hallstrom’s The Shipping News, Norman Jewison’s The Hurricane,  Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3, the Hunter S. Thompson drama The Rum Diary starring Johnny Depp, and more. Young also received his two Emmy nominations for the dramatic urgency of his score to Last Flight Out, and the smoky jazz of the critically acclaimed HBO picture Norma Jean & Marilyn.

When not working, Young spends his time delving into a rather eclectic hobby. Though he ascended from the ranks of solely scoring horror and science fiction films, his ongoing fascination with the macabre is evident in his vast collection of jack-o-lanterns, masks and autographs of many horror film stars of the past.  Young gives back to the film music community. He has taught a film scoring class at USC for a decade, and is a two-term past president of The Film Music Society, and president of the Madrid Film Music Festival in Spain.
