Nosferatu
Nosferatu, eine
Symphonie des Grauens (translated as Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror; also known as Nosferatu: A Symphony of Terror or
simply Nosferatu) is a German Expressionist horror film, directed by F. W. Murnau, starring Max Schreck as the vampire
Count Orlok. The film, shot in 1921 and released in 1922, was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, with
names and other details changed because the studio could not obtain the rights to the novel (for instance, "vampire" became
"Nosferatu" and "Count Dracula" became "Count Orlok").
