A pair of Radiohead albums will be used as the soundtrack for screenings of the silent horror film Nosferatu this fall. Kid A and Amnesiac will be paired with the 1922 classic as the first installment of the Silents Synced series.
The world premiere of Silents Synced Presents Nosferatu will take place at Los Feliz Theater in Los Angeles on September 21st. Get tickets here.
After that, it’s slated to open wide on October 4th. Find out more information at the Silents Synced website,
“Silents Synced is a strategic format to draw new audiences to cinemas for a communal music experience like no other,” creator and CEO Josh Frank told Deadline earlier this summer. “The question for independent theater operators has become what can we do to inspire people to leave their homes outside of Hollywood blockbuster films? While traditional moviegoers will always be our lifeblood, music fans will go to greater lengths for a shared experience.”
The next installment will pair R.E.M.’s music with Buster Keaton’s Sherlock, Jr. and is penciled in for early 2025, with future syncs planned for Pearl Jam, Pixies, They Might Be Giants, and Amon Tobin.
In other Nosferatu news, a new remake from Robert Eggers starring Bill Skarsgård is scheduled to open in theaters on December 25th. Meanwhile, Radiohead’s Kid A track “Optimistic” was sampled on Lupe Fiasco’s new song “Shrink.”
