The City of Worcester and the Worcester Cultural Coalition are hosting a Food truck Spooktacular and the 1922 silent film Nosferatu at the Worcester Memorial Auditorium.

The event will take place on Thursday, October 20 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

"So many people are rediscovering the Auditorium, or discovering it for the first time. We hope the renewed interest in this historic gem can generate some excitement as we search for a project that preserves its historic character and updates it for modern use,” said City Manager Edward Augustus, Jr.

Food trucks include The Dogfather, The Grill Daddy, Sabor Latino, Say Cheese, Press’n it, and Sun Kim Bop.

Nosferatu

Nosferatu is the story of the original Dracula and it will be shown with the accompaniment by organist Peter Krasinski from the Boston Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.

"Nosferatu is the granddaddy of all vampire movies-both creepy and beloved; it still sends chills up your spine during certain sections and somehow seems to capture the essence of Mary Shelley's writings. All the characters are right there on the screen and each one will get special musical treatment during this live improvised pipe organ accompaniment.

Might there be some real vampires lurking in the auditorium? Come and find out!" Said Peter Krasinski, Dean to the Boston Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
