About 20 yrs ago I saw a screening of Nosferatu with the Alloy Orchestra playing live in front. That was pretty cool. I’ve seen their Metropolis a couple of times as well.

Do you find the original video low quality as well? Would you like the video to be updated to be more modern?

There are, in fact, digitally restored versions that look better than unrestored versions ;)

Nosferatu is not so old that it's some kind of sacred artifact to me. It's a movie, it's meant to be enjoyed first. And the original music really does nothing for me. It isn't about technical quality either. There are high quality versions that don't "work" any better for me.

When I was 15, I checked out nosferatu from the library and watched the whole thing in silence, not knowing there was supposed to be a score!
