Nosferatu the Vampyre

Film Nosferatu – Phantom der Nacht

Jonathan Harker is an estate agent in Wismar, Germany. His boss, Renfield, informs him that a nobleman named Count Dracula wishes to buy a property in Wismar, and assigns Harker to visit the Count and complete the lucrative deal. Leaving his young wife Lucy behind in Wismar, Harker travels for four weeks to Transylvania, to the castle of Count Dracula. He carries with him the deeds and documents needed to sell the house to the Count. On his journey, Jonathan stops at a village, where locals plead for him to stay clear of the accursed castle, providing him with details of Dracula's vampirism. Harker ignores the villagers' pleas as superstition and continues his journey unassisted ascending the Tihuța Pass. Harker arrives at Dracula's castle, where he meets the Count, a strange, almost rodent-like man, with large ears, pale skin, sharp teeth, and long fingernails.

What it is made of

The source

The vampire of Stoker and Murnau

Broad hands with squat fingers, hair growing in the centre of the palms and the nails filed to a point. Fifty boxes of earth, a brig run aground with the captain lashed to the wheel, flies and spiders bred in an asylum, blue flames on St George's Eve, a Nepalese kukri. And the parallel bloodline: Orlok's bald skull, the rat ears, the endless fingers and that shadow climbing a staircase.
