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!
Last Friday, I caught the trailer for Robert Eggers’ adaptation of Murnau’s Nosferatu just before Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders. While I’m not expecting it to be the masterpiece that Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu the Vampyre was, it definitely has The Lighthouse and The Norseman director’s familiar imprint on it. Willem Dafoe and Ralph Ineson (The Witch) are both on hand, along with Lily-Rose Depp , Bill Skarsgard and Nicholas Hoult. I’m very excited for this.
Robert Eggers Nosferatu will be in theatres this Christmas.

Since today is Klaus Kinksi’s birthday, it makes sense that he should be featured in today’s scene of the day. In this scene from Werner Herzog’s 1979 film, Nosferatu, Klaus Kinski and Bruno Ganz have dinner. Of course, in this scenario, Bruno Ganz is Jonathan Harker while Kinski is Dracula.
(In the original, silent Nosferatu, Harker’s name was changed to Thomas Hutter while Dracula was called Count Orlok. By the time Herzog shot his version, the characters were in the public domain and there was no longer any need to pretend that Nosferatu wasn’t an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel.)
