The music video for Queen's "Under Pressure" has clips from "Nosferatu" in it. Apart from a few still photos in the books about vampires and monsters that I loved as a kid (1970s), that's the first time I saw any of the film. I remember scouring the late night TV listing, praying someone would be playing "Nosferatu" -- no one did. Finally, in my early teenage years (mid-80s) we got a VCR and in one of the catalogs Barnes & Noble would send us, I found a reasonably-priced copy of "Nosferatu" and my mother rolled her eyes and ordered it. 😂
Sounds like you were a cool kid!! 😎 glad you were able to see it. Curious to know what teenage-you thought about it once you finally got to watch it? :)
I always wanted to learn more about the background and legal woes the film got. Good job! Might I recommend Dark Corners Reviews video on Nosferatu and other F W Murnau movies that may have helped to inspire it.
omg i'm sad you never mentioned Nosferatu the Vampyre, it was a remake made in the 70's that's honestly really good and stays true to the original. i have a feeling the new nosferatu movie coming out this year is gonna be based on it
I remember watching this in the fourth grade when it would rain and we were stuck indoors. Im 52 now so it was quite a while ago. We watched the movie on a projector and once it ended Mr. Van that was my teachers name would run it backwards. 😂 Thanks for sharing. 👍
I’ve watched the film SEVERAL times and the most terrifying part to me is that the N@z¡s were inspired by the film’s depiction of vampires and used similar imagery in their anti-Semitic propaganda. Still an amazing film but it’s a shame to know the history of antisemitism that impacted its legacy.
Anti-Jew feelings were centuries old the Nazis just decided to exterminate the Jew and the Gay and anyone else they found unhygienic to their world view via mechanization of mass murder. Like the LGBTQ-+ in the USA now are being dehumanized first in preparation for the death camps to come.
Yep! I just didn’t want to get into it in this video since it wasn’t really about him so I left it at ‘questioned intentions’. But Wilde is a gay icon!! :)
The first time I saw Nosferatu was in 2007 and it's been my favorite silent film ever since. I recently watched "Shadow of the Vampire" and thought it was a good movie they made Count Orlok human like by making him drink liquor from the bottle 😂. Thanks to the internet Florence lost the war. Great video, very insightful 👍👍

This NEEDS some old times music during your commentary.
Thank you for the feedback! :-) I will work on that
Anyone who knows about Oscar Wilde knows he was not interested in a woman. He was very famously gay.
Yep! I just didn’t want to get into it in this video since it wasn’t really about him so I left it at ‘questioned intentions’. But Wilde is a gay icon!! :)
