Nosferatu
The mysterious Count Orlok summons a happily married real estate agent to his castle, located up in the Transylvanian mountains, to finalise a terrifying deal.
From the archive
I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. One of the most iconic horror films ever created, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror was originally considered just a copy of the Dracula story. In fact, Bram Stoker's widow sued to have all copies of Nosferatu destroyed because of the similarities between the plots. Fortunately, some copies were saved, and it can be enjoyed to this day.
