L take, that one time appearance was all that was needed and him having more episodes especially ones circled around him now don’t make the unexpectedness of him being in that episode feel more special. It would’ve been better to always wonder why they included him in that one scene
My son and I went to see the Eggers remake, night before last, and we loved it. My son said the movie made him forget what light was. I found that to be a very fitting statement. I've been a fan of the original since I was a kid, back in the 70's and 80's.. Orlock is the kind of vampire I like to see in movies.. There is nothing glamorous or hip or desirable about that sort of vampirism.. You don't want to be like Orlock.. It is an existence that is endless solitude, spite, hunger, pestilence, plague, suffering, malevolence and death... a true monster.
7:16- That one poster of Orlok sitting on the roof is so fascinating. As well as being painted as an intimidating presence, there's an understated but quiet melancholy to it, as if he's lamenting his own lost humanity. No matter how close he gets to people, his nature dooms him to the vestiges of civilization as a deathly living relic.
Just watched Robert Eggers "Nosferatu" and it is fantastic. Adapting Orlok to look like the historical Vlad Tepes. Nosferatu looms over the whole movie. It's so haunting. The final shot at the end will stick with you. Man, such an impacting final shot.
I got to attend a screening of Eggers' Nosferatu last night and personally I loved it. It's super creepy and atmospheric, the score is wonderful and Eggers' depiction of Orlok was pretty cool. Definitely check it out! Happy Holidays!
Nosferatu from 1922 is one of my favorite films. Here in Brazil, we are releasing a comic book adaptation of the film, whose script I wrote, and the art was all done by hand, with brush and Indian ink.
Occultism in Europe exploded exponentially after WWI. There were so many men who lost their lives in that war that many of their families would seek out esoteric mystics. That was ESPECIALLY true in the more well-heeled families of Europe.
Those promotional pieces were spot-on for Orlok's character. Rendering him as withdrawn, reclusive, almost afraid in one particular piece, which fits his slender, hunched, and drawn-in posture. But at the same time, they still capture the effect of him appearing inhuman, monstrous. His use of rats to spread the plague, his hiding in shadow, his frail appearance. Orlok, at least as far as the original is concerned, is a starved predator. He wants to hide, and strike from the shadow, even at night, and only when his prey is at its most vulnerable.
The posters are quite strange but fascinating. The details are wonderful exaggerations , and they tell a story just by looking at them. They did a wonderful job making those posters.❤
AMAZING VIDEO DUDE! I'm so hyped to go see this new take on this story. The behind the scenes info about it has been fascinating. The new low light camera technology, The character development commitment, the voice training. I'm just very excited!
For some reason, I thought that rolling thunder sound effect was outside my house. I was like, "I didn't think it was supposed to storm..." Man, I felt stupid, lol.
Just saw ROBsferatu last night. It was awesome. The lighting in most of the film gives you absolute black/white film style dynamics. Now that I’ve seen Robsferatu I want to now see shadow of the vampire for pure intrigue
Haha what a great name for the movie. I agree, one of my favorite aspects of the entire film was how the lighting was so BLUE at night, just like in the original 1922 film where they used color tints to display the time of day. Shadow of the Vampire is HIGHLY worth watching so you should totally check it out!
I have seen a 2k restoration of Nosferatu this summer. I was one of the first people to see it by chance since I've seen it in an outdoor cinema at the start of august and it released sometime in autumn. This version was also the first to have a czech between word oh however are those cards with text called so I cpuld actually understand it since I don't speak german. It was an experience to see it and now that I have learned more about this movie thanks to you I feel great. Thank you for this. :D
One thing that, I think, also adds to this movie is the fact that unless you're a silent movie buff, all these actors are completely unknown to modern audiences.
That always makes it hit more for sure. When I first got into it that aspect helped me get super immersed into the movie, it’s time period, and everything that comes with that.
Don’t normally comment, but this is a really, REALLY good video. Was shocked to have seen the sub and view count, not low but I was expecting a million both way. Excited to sub and see you grow, would love to see more content like this.
Thank you so much. I’m so glad you found us through this one! Personally this was one of my favorite videos I made in all of 2024, and I’m so happy others like you have enjoyed it too :)
I was very lucky and got to see Nosferatu at a town theater when I was in collage. If you ever get the chance to see it that way I highly suggest it. Makes it very magical.
Happy Holidays! I don't believe in the supernatural but your intro gets me feeling nostalgic every single time! Hope everyone has a great and happy holiday, whatever you celebrate :)
At 8:11, this shot panning towards the ship was made out of an airplane, that Murnau had rented especially to accomplish this shot. As far as I know, these airshots over the sea in "Nosferatu-A Symphony of Terror", where the very first of its kind using airplanes as the point of view of the camera. Truly revolutionary at the time and also remarkable considering the movie's tight budget !
Love the video.❤️When I saw egger’s noseferatu, I started reading brokers Dracula once I got home. I grew up with watching twilight vampires, after watching this movie and seeing the origins of vampires I am way more fascinated with vampires than ever before. Thank you for your video🙏🏼
I’m so glad that this film did not remain lost I watched it a couple of years ago and I immediately felt its eerie aura but I thoroughly enjoyed it haven’t watched any of the remakes though so those are on my list
To be honest I don't think the notion of Max Schrek being some sort of "real" vampire ever existed until the premise was presented in the film Shadow of the Vampire, at least I had never heard of the idea until then and I have been an avid vampire/Dracula/Nosferatu fan since the 1970s.
Nosferatu is one of my favorite vampire movies next to Salem's lot. I tend to stick to myself, so I had no idea that there was even a new movie coming out based on the old film. I'll have to watch it and see how it is. From some of the comments, it looks like it'll be a good watch since I'm only seeing positive feedback about it here. As for the posters, they all kind of have the same vibe as catching a mouse in your kitchen at 3 AM, and they're just staring at you as you're both just as freaked out to be perceiving each other.
I like the original artwork for the film and it can be thought of as the start of the "shadow man" figure as part of modern paranormal lore. Its just used as a metaphor for defining the mirror image of goodness or "Godliness" which is part of what the original occultist movement was based on, even though it is highly debated over who was the original creator. Cool art and will remain timeless as will the beliefs that are associated with it ...
I personally like the depiction in Vampire: Bloodlines as a sub-class of a vampire, and it completely changes the gameplay as you are forced to traverse the sewers like a rat, and no one is willing to speak to you out of pure terror. You are a true monster through and through. Its all mechanically faithful to the og.
I love the look of black & white film stock in those days (ortho, I assume for Nosferatu_) -- didn't look like simply desaturated color film, it gives me the same vibe as old engravings or charcoal/graphite artwork, where without color, more basic elements are used to express ideas. Schreck's vampire-bat teeth were creepy but for me his claws were creepier; when I was a little child I saw a traditional Indonesian dance live, likely the "long fingernail" dance, and with the strange musical sounds and the long fingers, that spooked me at the time, when I was still a-scared of skeletons. The only thing about watching _Nosferatu is which musical score you get, there's different versions going around.
The book Phantome der Nacht: Der 100 Jahre Nosferatu is a great art book featuring Grau's artwork as well as other relevant art. Unfortunately there isn't an English text version but it's fantastic for visuals alone. Another phenomenal book if you like the Grau aesthetic is Decadence: In Morbid Colours: Art and the Idea of Decadence in the Bohemian Lands 1880-1914. (though I think it is out of print and copies cost a hefty sum now). Also Alfred Kubin's art is worth checking out.
Cool historical piece! I saw the Eggers remake and it's well-crafted but I was hoping for a more radical reinterpretation. That said I liked the take on Orlok and Skarsgard is a real standout. I'll need to rewatch it before I really decide. I think I prefer Herzog's version though.
I truly believe Max Schreck was a vampire. Call me silly of course but I really cannot see a soul in the eyes of Max Schreck. I’m not saying he was a bad man or doubting his ability as an actor, but it’s almost as if his appearance and eyes (even without makeup) drifts into uncanny valley. Even as a child, I knew that there was something otherworldly about Schreck. Kudos to him for being the scariest vampire I have ever seen.
There is a 2000 film called "Shadow of the vampire" that explores this idea. In the film the director hires Shreck for the movie because he is an actual vampire but the director plays it off as a performance. Things go off the rails when cast and crew members begin to turn up dead though.
hey i am a big fan of your channel love the retro style. when i saw the nosfeartu's poster i didn't feel much of the dread i guess i watched too much horror movies. still think in olden days how people would react
I Totally get that! I always think there’s value in understanding WHY something was considered so scary then, what themes it presented that were relevant then as opposed to now, and all that. Movies are such valuable time capsules and I always find that fascinating.
I tried to watch the silent version of Nosferatu, but the introduction said that the audio/score was lost and some other music was installed. I wonder if the original music is available as a draft on paper? Or does some version have the original music? And at the beginning of the last century, people were trying to connect with their deceased loved ones via seance or mediums
I’m sorry but if your first thought upon seeing Orlock was, that’s a Jew, then that says a whole lot about you as a person. Like that’s a freaky looking monster, you should be thinking What the hell is that thing? I never really thought of rats either. I just saw a very wrong, deformed thing that shouldn’t go together. I remember not being able to sleep after seeing him appear in that episode of SpongeBob as a kid.
I'm trying to get all of the old Silent Horror Films on Blu-Ray that I can find. I've even managed to see short, creepy films that was made WAY BACK in the 1890's. Nosferatu, Phantom Carriage, Haxan, Faust and more.
The best Christmas gift you could give us, thank you guys and happy holidays! Also can I ask you the name of the song that starts at the "Max Schrek" part of the video?
@@DebunkFile Thank you so much, it will be awesome to listen to it on rainy days while thinking about Count Orlok and vibing on it. Such a beautiful and atmospheric masterpiece.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I got Epidemic Sound pretty recently and putting together this videos soundtrack was one of my favorite aspects of the whole thing :)
I accidentally saw it when I was about 4 years old, terrifying. Scarred me for years,lol. Literally - I was afraid of the dark for about 3 years after....
Very nice presentation! I wish Robert Eggers would have seen this video before making his remake. I absolutely love all his previous movies, but this one felt short on the scary part. A vampire talking that looks too much like a human did not make the right impression to me. I felt stupid at the theater wanting to laugh at scenes that were supposed to be anxious.
I was a bit disappointed too, I was hoping for a much more esoteric and animalistic portrayal of Orlok. Overall I still think the film is pretty much perfect but yeah some things did fall short unfortunately.
I would love to see a novelization of Nosferatu illustrated by Brett Helquist the guy that drew the covers and images of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events his drawing style is made for such a novelization with his use of shading.
Generally people aren't saying the original Nosferatu was made with the intent to be antisemitic, most people talking about this understand that it wasn't, they're just pointing out many elements coincide with antisemitic myths and fascist ideology and that the imagery of the movie was co-opted by the actual Nazis at the time, you can enjoy the original Nosferatu and appreciate it for its intended themes but that doesn't mean you have to ignore or downplay how it emboldened racists at the time and made itself too easy to turn into fascist propaganda. You also don't have to downplay Stoker's antisemitism as just a product of the time either, yes antisemitism was very common at the time, but it wasn't universal nor did it always come in the more extreme form you see in Dracula. No one is trying to cancel the 1922 Nosferatu, people are just trying to spread awareness of how certain classic tropes in fiction that seem innocuous have and still continue to be repurposed by fascists and we should be thoughtful about what harmful beliefs our media may unintentionally be communicating
18:08 Great video! But I just wanted to let you know that it’s pronounce “Bal•Eel”. I’m a Satanist and it just kinda got me lol. But you should review the new movie, possibly 👀
The fact that the Grau followers dug up Murnau's skull makes these accusations 100% legit real in my opinion & makes the original film just seem that much more scary & mysterious!!!!! Its crazy how all the sets & locations from all Dracula films ever made are all literally destroyed & no longer exist except for Nosferatu of all films even after a hundred years later , they look exactly the same & the film being made by OG cult members & cult leaders explains why none of them locations were ever torn down or removed over the century because they wouldn't allow it because they had other reasons for making the film to begin with!!!!! Ive heard other strange cases & stories of this films sets & locations having being linked to the occult over the years!!!!! Like his castle & Carfax Abby locations having hidden rituals done there back in the 1920's & even decades later !!!!! Real creepy stuff y'all 😬
I did my senior thesis on the origin of bram stokers Dracula. He wasn't doing antisemitic allegory. Why does a certain people insist he was? Odd way to admit to terrible things
I was very excited for the new one and I hated it. I went t home and immediately watched the OG and felt much better. I’m so sick of elevated horror. THE MUSTACHE whhhyyyyy
There aren’t any currently planned, but there are some giant videos in the works. It’s been awhile since we’ve had one of those and I’ve missed em. If you have any suggestions for me I’d love to hear them!
@@DebunkFile There are two right off the bat I'd love to get from you guys. One is the murder of Janett Christman, who's murder inspired the Babysitter and the Man Upstairs urban legend. The second would be the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, which definitely remind me of the murders committed by Zodiac
I love that SpongeBob basically made Nosferatu a recurring character, like he shows up every now and again and I love it.
The Hash Slinging Slasher 😂
Too bad his later appearances completely miss the point.

Few silent movies have had a legacy that lasted as long as Nosferatu. I’d have it slightly beating Birth of a Nation for greatest silent movie ever.

It can be traced back to ATLEAST 1953, when the theory was mentioned by the film critic Ado Kyrou
@@DebunkFile Well I'm not sure one person off handedly suggesting the idea really counts as a "theory" but it's a fun idea anyway.

Honestly the posters fill me with grief. Like I’m not even scared of it i feel sympathetic almost
The one where he sits on the rooftop makes me feel that way especially. It’s such an interesting emotion to feel when we’re dealing with Orlok

I would love to see a novelization of Nosferatu illustrated by Brett Helquist the guy that drew the covers and images of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events his drawing style is made for such a novelization with his use of shading.
That’s actually an amazing idea
Generally people aren't saying the original Nosferatu was made with the intent to be antisemitic, most people talking about this understand that it wasn't, they're just pointing out many elements coincide with antisemitic myths and fascist ideology and that the imagery of the movie was co-opted by the actual Nazis at the time, you can enjoy the original Nosferatu and appreciate it for its intended themes but that doesn't mean you have to ignore or downplay how it emboldened racists at the time and made itself too easy to turn into fascist propaganda. You also don't have to downplay Stoker's antisemitism as just a product of the time either, yes antisemitism was very common at the time, but it wasn't universal nor did it always come in the more extreme form you see in Dracula. No one is trying to cancel the 1922 Nosferatu, people are just trying to spread awareness of how certain classic tropes in fiction that seem innocuous have and still continue to be repurposed by fascists and we should be thoughtful about what harmful beliefs our media may unintentionally be communicating
Yap
I do wonder how many popular tropes are based on antisemitism
Nosferatu was used in the book Dracula to describe Dracula as a vampire
It's almost 6am and i havent slept maybe ill be able to fall alseep while listening to some debunkfile 💀
no caps when you say the man's name
help i didn't know this was an actual movie i thought it was going to be abt that guy who dances in a nosefuratu costume
Does anybody knows the music at 13:53 to 14:30 ?
Visions by Anna Dager

Insert saying of having two nickels since William Defoe is in both films related to Nosferatu.

Is this spoilers for the nosferatu movie coming out.
I'm planning to see it with a friend on Christmas day.
I’m seeing it on Christmas too, so no
Thank you for responding. I can gladly watch the video now!@@DebunkFile
How’d you like it?
*Freakish ghoul creature exists*
Jews: is that supposed to be me???
1:51 actually Nosferatu is the origin of the vampires weakness to sunlight it’d definitely not a original story but they didn’t add nothing to it
18:08 Great video! But I just wanted to let you know that it’s pronounce “Bal•Eel”. I’m a Satanist and it just kinda got me lol. But you should review the new movie, possibly 👀
“I’m a satanist” 🤓
Bro is 13 years old 💀
I’m converting to Judaism. Your take on antisemitic undertones in the film is excellent, very level headed
The fact that the Grau followers dug up Murnau's skull makes these accusations 100% legit real in my opinion & makes the original film just seem that much more scary & mysterious!!!!! Its crazy how all the sets & locations from all Dracula films ever made are all literally destroyed & no longer exist except for Nosferatu of all films even after a hundred years later , they look exactly the same & the film being made by OG cult members & cult leaders explains why none of them locations were ever torn down or removed over the century because they wouldn't allow it because they had other reasons for making the film to begin with!!!!! Ive heard other strange cases & stories of this films sets & locations having being linked to the occult over the years!!!!! Like his castle & Carfax Abby locations having hidden rituals done there back in the 1920's & even decades later !!!!! Real creepy stuff y'all 😬
@ 7;35
You wanted my initial reaction?
"It straight-up looks like a rat-human hybrid."
I did my senior thesis on the origin of bram stokers Dracula. He wasn't doing antisemitic allegory. Why does a certain people insist he was? Odd way to admit to terrible things
Its the guy from spongebob!!
the real life dracula's remains were also stolen.
14:38 😂
is nosferatu a strigoi?
Old corpses can still stink?!
Abysmal👹Nothingness
I thought his origins were from that one SpongeBob episode? 😂
Went to see the movie a couple days ago with my wife. Didn't like the very end.
I can understand that. Personally I loved it though
I feel you. I liked it other than that
I married a goth Soviet chick! Required viewing! Story awesome. Movie, not so much.
you really get scared at anything dudeXD
12:32 literally the meme of, please dont talk about monkeys, its so racially charged to black people...
Yoooooo
After watching this, I'll defo be checking out Nosferatu!
“anti semtic” movie that was literally banned by the nazis lmao
I was very excited for the new one and I hated it. I went t home and immediately watched the OG and felt much better. I’m so sick of elevated horror. THE MUSTACHE whhhyyyyy
Worse movie ive seen in a long time
It's jews
Any murder mystery videos in the future Debunk?
And Merry Christmas 🎄
There aren’t any currently planned, but there are some giant videos in the works. It’s been awhile since we’ve had one of those and I’ve missed em. If you have any suggestions for me I’d love to hear them!
@@DebunkFile There are two right off the bat I'd love to get from you guys. One is the murder of Janett Christman, who's murder inspired the Babysitter and the Man Upstairs urban legend. The second would be the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, which definitely remind me of the murders committed by Zodiac
