Yo it’s that dude from Spongebob Edit: Y’all I’m JOKING stop getting mad over me stating a joke

Imagine watching this when it came out. This was probably the scariest thing on earth.

3:33 He's just standing there... Menacingly!

3:27 gives me chills. This entire scene is so scary. It doesn’t have to be loud or gory to be disturbing.

This movie is like a nightmare.

1922: actual scary scenes an atmosphere 2017: jump scare with loud music

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... Like a vampire.

6:08 that was a really neat visual

Wait, if that was you one the phone and you on the bus, then who was flickering the lights?

I'll always felt that these really old movies were more authentic than modern ones. There's something more eerie and frightening about the imagery

I remember watching it at the cinema when it was just released

The scene where Harker opens the door and Nosferatu is just standing there looking at him was the scariest of all of them.

For a movie that is almost a hundred years old that vampire was really creepy and disturbing.

This film is nearly 100 years and scarier than a lot of modern horror films

It's crazy that this movie now makes the phrase "100 years old" ACTUALLY REAL

8:15 the most iconic horror scene in the history of filming

What makes it even creepier is. Everyone in this movie is already dead

As soon as I shut the lights out in bed, get comfortable, the scene of him walking through the doorway flashes in my head.

Nosferatu is definitely the creepiest vampire films ever made. The imagery itself lives up to its name.

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!
