Today’s Horror on the Lens is a classic film that really needs no introduction! Released in 1922, the German silent film Nosferatu remains one of the greatest vampire films ever made. It’s a film that we share every October and I’m happy to do so again this year!
Enjoy!
Nosferatu and Vampyr stand alone among vampire films being examples of cinema art as well as superb entertainments directed by two of the best; Murnau and Dreyer. I don’t know if it was Halloween 1971 or 72, but I was living in San Francisco and went to Interplayers, the famed film revival house to see Nosferatu, Vampyr and Freaks on a triple bill. It ended at about one o’clock in the morning and I had to walk up Russian Hill and down to reach my apartment off Geary Street. That was one long, nervous walk.
