The one thing that scares the crap out of me is a close up on Count Orlocks face. Freaky

[BonkTheClown]

Finally Count Orlok I love the watch one of the best silent movies next to The Phantom of the Opera. Orlok still frightens me, I just love his Dracula adaption. Max FTW!!

Orlok? FINALLY HE GETS SOME ATTENTION!

[raeven1212]

the best way to watch it I think, is not with your brothers constantly scaring you everytime you're not expecting it

Did anyone see this film with the other more modern music to it?

@mdude009 In the film industry they don't refer to that as "ugly" at least they wouldn't these days. They'd call that "beautiful". :) I love artists. They see beauty anywhere and everywhere.

Awesome classic with a great actor!

@NathanSeraph Hehe, Max Schreck could be translated to Max Horror/Fear :)

@Dracoa79 And the Nosferatus computer network in Bloodlines is called "SchreckNet" (after Max Schreck)

[theSicilianToe]

Having been made during almost 100 years ago makes it twice as scary.

Funny story, apparently the actor (Max Schreck) was so ugly all he needed to play the role were fake teeth and ears, the director himself said it.

1:19 - 1:21 makes me think "THRILLER"
