"Nosferatu" was an unlicensed film adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula."
Count Orlok the vampire was played by an actor named Max Schreck.
Unlike the suave count of later films, Orlock was cadaverous and almost ratlike.
Many consider Shrek to be the most frightening movie vampire of all time.
"Schrek" in German means "terror."
Much of the film's imagery remains unmatched in the annals of horror.
Bram Stoker's wife sued the filmmakers for copyright infringement.
She won the case, and all copies were ordered destroyed.
Luckily for cinema history, some survived.
F.W. Murnau's film went on to become an invaluable classic of screen terror.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
