Organ score?


Trying to figure out what company put out a certain version of this movie using primarily an organ based score? The same score was actually used in another version of Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and both films were shown on A&E (or Bravo) back in the early 90s. I have recordings of both but was just curious as to which versions these are?

Of all the versions I've seen, this score is perfect. It suits the film insanely well.

UPDATE:

At the beginning of the Dr. Caligari version, there is a year and name at the bottom: Jet Films International.

Anybody know of this distribution company?

The organ score is by Timothy Howard. This in-depth article details Nosferatu's history, its many different versions, restorations and scores, and every restored DVD and Blu-ray worldwide:
