So to clear things up: Nosferatu was a vampire film from 1922. The director, F.W. Morneau had heard stories about vampires during his military service in WWI. He might have heard the word Nosferatu in Hungary, as he was fighting there for the Germans in the final three years of the war I think. The name of Nosferatu the vampire (or Vampyre, the accurate spelling for the time period the film depicts (late 1830s), and Vampyr or Vampir, vampire in German, as the Professor in the trailer said), is Count Orlok, and he spreads the Black Plague through Germany with the aid of rats. For context, in the 14th century, the Black Death was spread through rats, and some believed that vampires were responsible for the plague and that those who died from it could rise from the grave as vampires (there accouns from the time telling of people hearing a "bubbling sound" coming from the coffins of plague victims, believing that it was a vampire making that noise - now we know this is just part of what happens after a person dies (in other words, the building of gasses in the stomach of a corpse); I found folklore stories from the time period and a song called "the Unquiet Grave", which was written a century after the Black Death; some historians theorise that the song is not about the ghost of a woman rising from the grave, but that she has been turned into a vampire after dying from the plague, as she warns her husband, who has been coming to visit her grave every day for a year and a day:
"My breath is earthy-strong,
My breast is hard as clay;
Should you receive a kiss
From my cold clay-lips,
Your days they won't be long."
So really, would a ghost, who has no physical body warn her husband that he will die should he kiss her? And how is it that her breath has any smell at all and she can describe herself physically if she is supposedly an apparition? 🤔
So in conclusion, vampires in old stories are basically purely evil demons that spread disease and the original film's director took inspiration from this centuries old concept for his vampire film in 1922.
To be honest, I did not know until watching this video that Nosferatu comes from the Greek root "Mosferat" which means disease, so it was very interesting to learn that. I enjoyed your reaction too. Cheers, bro!
I think the word Nosferatu means Undead, in Romanian. And a vampire is, indeed, both dead and alive. But it is not a name. Dracula's "real" name, in the book, is Count Orlock. I think Dracula comes from the word Dracul, meaning devil. All very romantic stuff
Yes, you’re right. The summaries for this new movie say that the vampire in this movie, count orlock brings with him a bout of plague.
Have you ever seen Dracula, it's the same story.
