Agents of Fortune was a tough act to follow for BOC. Spectres was very different stylistically, but is still one of my favorite Cult albums. "Nosferatu", along with "I Love the Night", are two of my favorite songs off the album. Very moody and atmospheric. Nice job blending the classic film with the song. You can clearly see their inspiration.
I remember seeing Nosferatu for the 1st time when I was about 8 or so....it scared the crap out of my brother & I. To this day I find it hard to go into my basement for fear of seeing him or any of the zombies from the original "Night of the Living Dead". Stupid, I know. I've never heard this song by BOC either...it is beautiful. Thank you for posting this.
Wow....dude, Nosferatu at 8? And I thought those monkeys from WOZ were scary? I would have been truly terrified if I'd see it that young. Damn, I gotta hand it to you for making through childhood! LOL! I had a nightmare years ago that involved Nosferatu and his coffin...carrying it around and rising strait out of it like he did in the film..freaking scary.
I'm glad you found the vid so you could hear this awesome song. In my book, few bands could touch BOC in their prime. Thanks!
@MetalGuruMessiah Yep...the nightmare you had is the same fearful scene that runs through my mind as well.....Him rising out of that stinkin' coffin like that. Super freaky! My brother & I used to listen to this scary radio program while we were in bed at night. It was hosted by E.G. Marshall. I forget the name but all of those shows were pretty scary as well. Those flying monkeys didn't do anything positive for me either. I'll just stay out of the basement...lol!
I remember that radio program as well.....yeah, it was super scary too! Pretty cool to think about that after so many years....you know, it just goes to show that no movie can be scarier than the one we play in our mind listening to/or reading a scary story....and that truly scary music helped too.....what was it like all bass clarinet? Would be really fun to hear some of those again...may need to google and see what pops up.
Germany produced some of the most influential early films.....and Nosferatu was definitely among them. Glad the vid gave you the chance to hear the song.
I'm such a huge fan of Blue Oyster Cult and hope to make a few other videos for some of their other (earlier) work. Thanks for checking it out and commenting, Richie.

Un brano classico e un classico film! Una delle canzoni della band più oscura, ma mi piace molto. Grazie tanto amico mio!
