‘Nosferatu’ Director Robert Eggers Shares His Alamo Drafthouse Guest Selects That Inspired His Vampire Epic [Exclusive]

Tickets are now on sale for the biggest horror event this holiday season: Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu! To celebrate the upcoming release, the filmmaker has become the latest visionary to participate in the Alamo Drafthouse Guest Selects series with five surprising titles that inspired his gothic vampire epic.

We’re exclusively unveiling Robert Egger’s Guest Selects video, which highlights unexpected genre picks below.

The filmmaker provides insight into underseen classics that include The Innocents, The Queen of Spades, Svengali, Cries and Whispers, and Angels & Insects. If you’re already rushing to the Alamo Drafthouse website to grab Nosferatu tickets, select locations will also be programming Eggers’ Guest Select Cries and Whispers on December 27. That should make for a great double feature.

Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film, in theaters December 25, 2024.

Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Lily-Rose Depp also star in Robert Eggers’ big-screen resurrection of the Nosferatu legend.

“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”

Eggers (The Witch, The Northman) directs, and he wrote the script. Eggers also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham. 

F.W. Murnau directed the original 1922 version of Nosferatu, while fellow German filmmaker Werner Herzog notably directed his own version of the classic tale back in 1979. Eggers brings his vision to screen this Christmas. We may not be able to get a peek at Count Orlok until the film releases, but Eggers’ Alamo Drafthouse Guest Selects at least gives a strong indication of what to expect in terms of stunning gothic horror.

Nosferatu has been rated “R” for “Bloody violent content, graphic nudity, and some sexual content.”

Tickets are on sale now!
