It’s really hard to picture a Halloween without vampires, especially when we’re talking about Halloween in Philadelphia. With all the Dracula related events the Rosenbach Museum & Library throw, from manuscript readings to an awesome Dracula Festival with Spiral Q, they’re managed to make celebrating this famous horrific blood-sucker a Philadelphia Halloween tradition. And they aren’t the only ones.

The Traverse Arts Project will bring Nosferatu, the classic German vampire horror film based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, to the First Unitarian Church for it’s second annual screening. This year’s screening features T. Desiree Hines, an organist who will perform alongside the screening, creating an even more captivating and frightening experience. You might have heard of Hines, she had an incredible cover story in the City Paper back in May.

The best part? While you’re being scared out of your wits, you’re actually doing something good for the community. Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Festivale: The 2nd Annual Philadelphia International GLBT Arts Festival. Tickets are only $10 a person, $5 for students and seniors, with a showing at 7PM and 11PM. For more information, visit Traverse’s official website.
