Quite possibly the most terrifying film ever made, Murnau?s Nosferatu continues to influence filmmakers today. Originally released in 1922, and based on Bram Stoker?s Dracula (character names were changed in a failed attempt to escape copyright issues), the story was a natural for the surreal, haunting world of Expressionism and its themes of death and madness, shadow and light. With his bald pate, rat-like visage and long, bony fingers, Nosferatu?s Count Orlac (Max Schreck) is a monstrous parasite sustained by the blood of the living.
