Nosferatu (part 1 of 13)

This amazing film was released in 1922 by the Prana Film company under the name "Nosferatu," because the studio could not get the rights to the novel "Dracula." It was the Prana Film company's only film, because they soon declared bankruptcy (before the widowed Mrs. Stoker could sue for copyright infringement). In 1927, the Cinémathèque Française, which collected and preserved films, preserved a copy of the second French version of "Nosferatu." In 1947 This version made a home in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Nosferatu. Dir. F.W. Murnau. Writ. Henrik Galeen and Bram Stoker. Prana Film, 1922.

[@raulycalifre]

Thanks for uploading this! you rock!!!!

[@mirielcl48]

nowadays horror films use mainly music to scare you....darkness, loud music in the right moment and a scream...that's the magic formula

[@cha5]

Myers? PFFFT! Stoker wins hands down,
He set the foundation for the vampire mythos and created an immortal eternal character who will last through the ages IMHO.

[@vatoLoco203]

this movie was a major achievment for film but a tragedy for vampires

[@TheScreamer500]

Wow! This was before even old school was invented.

[@HalloWitch93]

It's also here on RUclips. I watched it (and it was good).

[@kwizatch]

i remember watching this at 200 in the morning lol

[@Advancedgod]

Clothing from back then beats today's, but the haircuts do not.

[@095tube]

Yea like they no longer care in trying to scare you the old way, they rather use a lot of gore and sometimes pointless stories to scare people.
Nosferatu rules!! and looks freaking creepy lol.

i saw this a few weeks ago on Turner Classic Movies channel but i didn't get to see the whole thing.

That vampires have a weakness for garlic is not the invention of the screenwriter -- it is from Stoker's novel itself, and, prior to that, various superstitions and folklore. Garlic has a rich and ancient symbolic history as a cure-all and a potent weapon against various dark forces/powers. Stoker rather promiscuously bothered here and there for his novel, and I can't remember now precisely what he borrowed from where, but aversion to garlic is quite old.

This isn't the music that went with the film when it was released. There was no music, except for someone playing organs.

[@anakinfan8]

Someone needs to remake this film,I would gladly pay for it

[@SFxTAGG3]

Old horror films actually concentrate on tension and REAL horror, as opposed to modern stuff that just concentrates on gore, which I think isnt scary but pretty fuckin gross.

[@greedy_muppet]

That's tough to say. They're similar, but Nosferatu has a more primal thing about him going on, like he's a vessel for evil, which means he lacks inhibitions and lets predatory instincts take over. Bram's is more like Hannibal Lecter, where he's intelligent, manipulative, charming...but he does have dark impulses hidden beneath the cool exterior...so I would say Bram's, simply for the fact that he's sexier so I'd want him to win.

[@lsdmadman]

don't wanna do too much romanticizing in an era where nonentities stare at screens and fugging phones for a living....................

[@joeruss39]

[@history380]

[@BarrageHero]

[@scraperindustry]

I dont know, I find the victorian era to suppressive towards women and their rights. I wouldnt enjoy it at all.
HOWEVER, I love the fashion of the time and wouldnt mind running around in corsets and hats and what not
