Experience the silent film “Nosferatu” with relaxing live music. It’s here.

Legend has it in film circles that actor Max Schreck was so convincing in the 1922 film, “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror,” that his fellow cast members began to wonder if he was a real vampire.

The horror silent film based on author Bram Stoker’s classic novel “Dracula” is getting a 21st-century update as a remake is set to hit theaters in December, according to IMDb. The remake will star Bill Skarsgard, who played the evil clown known as Pennywise in the recent film “It.”

If you can’t wait until December, you can see the original version of “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror” at a special event this weekend hosted by the Boston Pops. And if you can’t make it this weekend, other theaters around the state are showing the film with various musical accompaniments.
