Nosferatu
Directed by F.W. Murnau
F.W. Murnau's silent version of DRACULA is one of the greatest horror films ever made, thanks in large part to Max Schreck's still-terrifying performance as the bald vampire Nosferatu, sporting razor sharp fangs and long pointy fingernails. Murnau's brilliant use of scary shadows and atmospheric dread influenced countless vampire films and TV series - including DARK SHADOWS, BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and the recent horror comedy WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS. Every horror fan should try to watch this at least once a year, in our opinion.

i wish there was more with the ellen & count orlok thing specifically, but i adored the film outside of that one little complaint :)
Not much to say about it since this is possibly the best known silent horror film of all time. It shows its age but it does so with grace that few others can manage. Haunting doesn’t
Whether or not you've seen the newest version, you should check this out. Brilliantly filmed and well acted, this movie is fantastic. So much so, I will give it a pass on being basically a 1-1 Dracula clone.
I loved this it is classic silent horror gold and it definitely should be seen by everyone.
Classic!
