   Was Nosferatu really a vampire?

Murnau to give his film the ultimate authenticity – in exchange for the blood of the film’s leading lady.

   Jan 11, 2022 · Though Nosferatu's creators gave their central vampire a look and feel all its own, many contend that the plot — a young clerk traveling to the old country, only to discover a vampire nobleman who covets his beloved — is just Bram Stoker's Dracula with the names changed.

   • THIS WASN’T THE FIRST FILM TO BE BASED ON BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA. Stoker’s famous novel earned him some welcome praise, but very little cash. A gothic thriller, Dracula first hit the shelves in 1897.
   • IT BRAZENLY RIPPED OFF THE NOVEL. In 1921, German artist and architect Albin Grau joined forces with Enrico Dieckmann to establish a new movie company called Prana-Film.
   • THE LOOK OF THE MOVIE WAS INSPIRED BY ARTIST HUGO STEINER-PRAG. To direct Nosferatu, Prana-Film tapped F.W. Murnau, a filmmaker renowned for his expressionistic style.
   • THE VAMPIRE WAS PLAYED BY A MAN WITH AN APPROPRIATELY SPOOKY NAME. Little is known about Max Schreck’s life and film career, a fact to which his biographer, Stefan Eickhoff, can attest.

   Mar 4, 2022 · Made in Germany in 1922, during the heyday of expressionist fantasy, F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu manifestly indulges the period taste for the horrific: the story is adapted (albeit freely) from Dracula; the vampire is monstrously conceived as the thin, repulsively bald Nosferatu, somehow suggestive of both a human skeleton and a rat. Yet ...
