All The Scary Vampire Scenes From "NOSFERATU: A Symphony Of Horror" (1922)

"Nosferatu" was an unlicensed film adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula."
Count Orlok the vampire was played by an actor named Max Schreck.
Unlike the suave count of later films, Orlock was cadaverous and almost ratlike.
Many consider Shrek to be the most frightening movie vampire of all time.
"Schrek" in German means "terror."
Much of the film's imagery remains unmatched in the annals of horror.
Bram Stoker's wife sued the filmmakers for copyright infringement.
She won the case, and all copies were ordered destroyed.
Luckily for cinema history, some survived.
F.W. Murnau's film went on to become an invaluable classic of screen terror.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!

This film is so otherworldly... The altered character names really makes it seem like its from another world, and Max Shreck's performance is haunting. It was so convincing that people actually rumoured him to be a real vampire. Also the Orava caslte, location where they filmed the first half of the movie, is said to be haunted. Those details added with the fact that almost all of the copies of the movie were destroyed because of copyrights, makes this masterpiece seem like an evil entity, refusing to cease even if it's objectors wanted It to...

[@UndeadGunslinger1997]

Someone can find this film boring, but *"Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror"* 1922 is a classic of horror films and German expressionism, which at one time was able to make a strong impression on the audience, from which the blood ran cold. This was the cinema. There is no color, no sound, only black and white tones, accompanied by a grim and melancholic melody, which gives the film its charm, and also enhances atmosphere of mysticism, fear and evil in silent forests of Transylvania. But the highlight of this film is Count Orlok himself. Max Schrek performance is very far from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Despite connection with the original source, Nosferatu is rather a reinterpretation of Dracula, which makes you think about the nature of vampirism. This is not a majestic commander, not a prince of darkness from novel. Nosferatu more means disease and here Count Orlok is represented as a host of an unknown and dangerous plague, doomed to eternal life and loneliness. The curse has disfigured his human side, turning him into a bloodthirsty creature. It is also worth noting the image of Orlok and he is very unique. His look causes horror and disgust: unnaturally long fingers ending with sharp claws, bared sharp teeth like a bat, gnarled nose, splayed ears, empty and lifeless eyes. Considering how Murnau competently handles shadow in the film, not only the vampire scares, but also his silhouette. Nosferatu deserves attention as one of the most frightening vampires of cinema!

Horror movies today tend to favor jump-scares and gore over atmosphere and creepiness. A lot of modern horror movies just don't have that subtlety, a combination of atmosphere, creepiness, and musical score that create a lasting impression. Nosferatu, especially Max Schreck, captures all three brilliantly. Count Orlok won't jump out and scare you. His brand of horror is unnerving, unnatural. Something that will stick by and haunt you. As if the environment around you is dead. A lack of movement indicates death. And Count Orlok's subtle movement invokes that feeling among the person watching.

Max Schreck, the legend. Seriously that makeup was great, not the most faithful Dracula movie but probably the most important

[@gunterangel]

This movie had a ridiculously small budget and film crew. Max Schreck, the actor playing Count Orlok, actually had provided his own make-up design for the movie. He was a prolific stage actor, known particularly for his portrayals of somehow eerie characters and social outsiders. At that time most theatres in Germany hadn't professional costume or make-up designers yet. These were still things stage- and movie actors would do all by themselves. Only around the thirties of the last century doing make-ups became a profession on its own in the theatre and movie world. There is a little docu clip from 1930 here on YT, where famous British character actor, Charles Laughton, gives a little demonstration in front of a theatre mirror, how he transforms himself in an Italian mafiosi, doing all the make-up by himself. Only a few years later, this would become already old-fashioned for actors, because then there were already professional make-up artists around, who at that first pioneering time quite often had an acting background themselves. So really all the credit for this movie character and his iconic apperarance goes to Max Schreck himself and no other possible make-up artist or costume designer. 6:51

The fact that this movie is an influential old classic doesn't mean everyone has seen it. I bet most young folks in their teens, twenties and and even older have never watched it. I mean people in the comment section are referencing Spongebob for crying out loud! 😆

For me the best vampire movie of all time. Max Schreck as Count Orlok is simply unbelievable. The nightmare. I saw a heavily shortened version of the sls child. I was so scared.

[@ADCFproductions]

the way this man walks is terrifying, and 6:07 is just crazy.

[@gunterangel]

This movie had a ridiculously small budget and film crew. Max Schreck, the actor playing Count Orlok, actually had provided his own make-up design for the movie. He was a prolific stage actor, known particularly for his portrayals of somehow eerie characters and social outsiders. At that time most theatres in Germany hadn't professional costume or make-up designers yet. These were still things stageactors would do all by themselves. Only around the thirties of the last century doing make-ups became a profession on its own in the theatre and movie world. There is a little docu clip from 1930 here on YT, where famous British character actor, Charles Laughton, gives a little demonstration in front of a theatre mirror, how he transforms himself into an Italian mafiosi, doing all the make-up by himself. Only a few years later, this would become already old-fashioned for actors, because then there were already professional make-up artists around, who at that first pioneering time quite often had an acting background themselves. So really all the credit for this movie character and his iconic apperarance goes to Max Schreck himself and no other possible make-up artist 7:03

Happy 100th anniversary to this film. Legendary in how it presents the monster as a creature who we know is the monster, not some suave or attractive being who uses seduction to get what he/she wants. This is a situation in which our protagonist must outlast the monster.

[@johnnylalonde7542]

3:35 the most frightening scene in horror movie history.

[@alienspear8706]

Imagine seeing this in a dream or when u just wake up.

[@ElectronicHouseFlash]

Most frightening Movie scene is for me Resident Evil 1 (2002) Laser Scene. I literally watched every Horror Movie and that Laser scene fucked me most up at night.

I fail to see the terror that this movie tried to produce, but i understand why people back in the day would be terrified.

I guess back in time it was special like for us the first "Saw" or "Final destination" movie.

I don't know how others can't appreciate old films. Ok, the graphics weren't as good as those today, but for movies in the early 1900's, these are really good, and just goes to show how people thought back then and how they made movies and it shows a lot about the history of movie making, which is amazing. And even though this is from the 20's this. is. pretty. SCARY, coming from a person that doesn't get scared easily. Petition to bring those wonderful 20's and 30's horror movies back

This is even scarier than some movies today. I think it has to do with the eerie silence of it all, it like being in a dream.

I agree with you, I do not know why but Nosferatu has always seemed quite adorable to me, It may be the false nostalgia of my parents making references to the film sometimes or it may be simply because of that way of moving and those faces that seems partly a little creepy but at the same time quite funny

There's a lot of old movies with fairly large cultural significance such as this that have reached 100 years old, and I'm surprised most of them never had a 100 year anniversary made of them.

Gosh, I never realized how creepy dracula/nosferatu is at the dinner table, he let the guest eat but he just read on some paper or book, then peek on them every one in a while, then behave strangely when they cut their fingger on a knife.
