 However, most of the score has been lost, and what remains is only a reconstitution of the score as it was played in 1922.Thus, throughout the history of "Nosferatu" screenings, many composers and musicians have written or improvised their own soundtrack to accompany the film.For example, James Bernard, composer of the soundtracks of many Hammer horror films in the late 1950s and 1960s, wrote a score for a reissue.
