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.

HORROR HISTORY RIGHT HERE! A silent horror film from the 20's, and possibly one of (if not thee) scariest vampire movies I've ever seen! Such an iconic film, beautifully well shot, and considering when it was made it has some special effects that beat modern day horror films.
Incredibly creepy. Love it.
Pretty incredible considering when it was made
