Nosferatu - Coutdown to Halloween

Judging by the counter to the right there's 8 days left until Halloween, about 7 or 6 days for me, but I ain't doing this for the kiwis.

Each day up until Halloween I'll be posting something creepy, spooky, scary to get into the Halloween spirit.

Today we have the classic silent film Nosferatu, based kind of on Bram Stoker's Dracula, which wasn't entirely allowed. It managed to survive despite copies of it being ordered destroyed as a result of legal rulings.

The rat faced Orlock used to scare the hell out of me and there's something about the film that still creeps me out, it's black and white and silent, something I'm sure a lot of us aren't used to.

As with Night of the Living Dead, Nosferatu is in the public domain, download it, do as you please with it, it's all legal.
