Nosferatu & Horror

This week we will be studying the horror genre, one of my favorites.  Nosferatu by F.W. Murnau (1922), is a gothic masterpiece and set the standard for truly scary vampire films.  Watch this film and notice the gothic imagery and compare the vampire Count Orlok to modern vampires.
