Dust off your garlic and sharpen your stakes, because Scary Movie Nights is venturing into the shadowy realm of silent film with a review of F.W. Murnau's 1922 masterpiece, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror! This unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula introduced the world to the terrifying Count Orlok, a creature of nightmare that continues to haunt audiences a century later.
Join us as we dissect this chilling classic, exploring its groundbreaking use of light and shadow, the eerie atmosphere created by its stark German Expressionist style, and the unforgettable performance of Max Schreck as the rat-like vampire, Count Orlok. We'll delve into the legal battles surrounding the film's production (spoiler alert: it almost didn't survive!), its impact on the horror genre as a whole, and why it remains so effective even without the benefit of dialogue.
