Description
Nosferatu is the title character from the 1922 horror film Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, an influential piece within the "German Expressionist" movement that F.W. Murnau directed. The undead character, also known as "Count Orlok", is a vampire with a humanoid yet grotesque appearance featuring menacing claws and a distorted face, looking quite distinct from the elegant, suave villains in later Dracula films. Actor Max Schreck played the original Nosferatu, and his performance (along with the movie's style in general) became a significant part in the development of 20th century cinema.
