MISC: NOSFERATU F.W. Murnau’s German Expressionist horror film Nosferatu debuted in March 1922. It was an unauthorized, freewheeling adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, which at the time was only 25 years old. (Putting that into perspective: The first Harry Potter novel turns 25 this year.) Murnau took a few liberties with the source material to disguise its origins, among them changing the name of the title character to Orlok, jettisoning most of its characters and changing the ending. Stoker’s widow sued to prevent the release of Nosferatu, won the rights to the film and tried to destroy all prints of it—an effort that, thankfully, failed.

The Sci Fi Center has screened Nosferatu several times before now, but this is a special occasion: the classic silent film’s 100th birthday, a proper milestone even for an immortal. Pianist Andrew Tyler will provide live accompaniment to Max Schreck’s terrifying performance as the first vampire ever to appear in film. All ages are welcome, though with his razor-sharp teeth and nails, Count Orlok might be a bit much for young children. He might be a little much for some adults, too, but that’s the fun of it. 8 p.m., $10, thescificenter.com. –Geoff Carter

MISC: LAS VEGAS STORIES: UNFORGETTABLE NEVADA WOMEN History isn’t confined to the past. That’s what the nonprofit Southern Nevada Women’s History Project would like to remind residents as they engage with biographies of formidable figures brought back by the organization’s book series. Some might recognize their family or neighbors in the books, says project coordinator Denise Gerdes. Using interviews and historical records, members have contributed diverse accounts of Nevada women, including author Jessie Benton Fremont, author and wife of pioneer John C. Fremont, plus the namesakes of Gilcrease Orchard and Lucille S. Rogers Elementary School. 7 p.m., free, Clark County Library, lvccld.org. –Shannon Miller

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Ottawa Senators

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Ottawa Senators

MUSIC: JASON ISBELL & THE 400 UNIT It’s ironic that Jason Isbell, an artist frequently mentioned on the short list of “country acts for folks who don’t listen to country,” will be in town during Academy of Country Music Awards week in Las Vegas. The 43-year-old, once a member of beloved Southern-rock band Drive-By Truckers, has long since established himself as an acclaimed singer-songwriter in his own right, with songs that tell vivid stories while freshening up traditional elements of folk, rock and yes, country. Catch him with backing band The 400 Unit—with whom he has released five albums, including last year’s Georgia Blue, a collection covering songs by Georgia artists from Cat Power to The Allman Brothers Band—along with opener Shawn Colvin. 7 p.m., $49+, the Theater at Virgin, axs.com. –Spencer Patterson

MISC: NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON Feeling out-of-touch with the world around you … and the galaxy beyond that? What you need is a lecture “on all the stuff we know nothing about in the universe,” delivered by the host of the National Geographic show Cosmos and director of New York City’s Hayden Planetarium, astrophysicist and planetary scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson. Like the great Carl Sagan before him, Tyson has a gift for expressing complex scientific ideas in simple, relatable terms without sounding like he’s dumbing things down. (He also has a talent for putting our brief lives in perspective; if you’re feeling indestructible, ask him about the inevitable heat death of the universe, and stand well back.) Tyson strives to get his audiences to respect “the tenacity of scientists on the frontier who are daily steeped in ignorance,” and over the course of 150 minutes at Reynolds Hall, he should be able to convince you to meet those scientists at least halfway. 7:30 p.m., $39-$125. thesmithcenter.com. –Geoff Carter
