Pre-Halloween Nosferatu Watch Party!
Kansas City Bier Company
310 W 79th St, Kansas City, Missouri 64114
Saturday at 7 PM – 9 PM
We’re getting in the Halloween spirit, German-style, with a watch party of the 1922 German Expressionist horror film, Nosferatu — considered one of the all-time greatest horror films — complete with a live soundtrack performed by Kansas City pianist Rich Hill.

Filmed in 1921 and released in 1922, Nosferatu was an unauthorized adaptation of Dracula, the 1897 Gothic horror novel by Bram Stoker, starring German actor Max Schreck as the vampire Count Orlok. Stoker’s heirs sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered that all copies of the film be destroyed. However, a few prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema.

According to legend, the film’s original score composed by Hans Erdmann was to be performed by an orchestra during the projection, and the original music was recorded during a screening of the film — but was eventually lost.

Throughout the history of Nosferatu screenings, many composers and musicians have written or improvised their own soundtrack to accompany the film. We’re continuing this tradition with Kansas City pianist Rich Hill, who will provide a live soundtrack accompaniment during the screening.

From 6-10 PM, order any klassiker bier (Dunkel, Pils, Helles Lager or Hefeweizen) and a traditional or Dunkel brat for $8.

Pumpkin Carving Template:

On Wednesday (Waldo’s favorite day of the week) August 26, 1964, it was noted in the minutes of the Southwest Business Association that the organization should change their name to “Waldo Business Association,” as it “most nearly meets the needs” of the organization. The entire motion is included below. Therefore, on August 26th, we celebrate our birthday officially as the Waldo Area Business Association!

Thank you to all of the pioneers who have championed our District and Association for over five decades. The Waldo Area Business Association “respects yesterday, promises tomorrow” and forever will be the “home of the friendly merchants.”

Interested in participating in the 27th Annual Fall Festival, check out the Fall Festival page and download the vendor application. Space is limited, apply today.

We look forward to having you!

Join the Waldo Tower Neighborhood Association and the Waldo Area Business Association Advisory Council at the Kansas City Public Library – Waldo Branch (Rooms A & B) for a special evening looking back at the rich history of the Waldo district.

This unique event features local author and historian LaDene Morton who will present portions of her book “The Waldo Story: The Home of the Friendly Merchants,” which will also be for sale at this event. Ms. Morton will also moderate a panel discussion with a variety of longtime Waldo business owners and operators who will share their personal memories and the evolution of Waldo from their perspective.

Join us before the presentation to socialize and enjoy the refreshments graciously provided by the Lewellen family, Lew’s Grill and Bar, and McLain’s Bakery.
