An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’sDracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film,crafted by legendary German director F. W.
Murnau. Rather than depictingDracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok(as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulboushead and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirismyet envisioned.
