Nosferatu (1922) Trailer

Friedrich W. Murnau's 1922 vampire classic. It was an unauthorized adaption of DRACULA, and as a result the Stoker estate sued Murnau on the grounds of copyright infringement.

However, copies of the film had already been distributed throughout the world. Today, It's considered one of the most chilling movies ever made.

Music from the 1979 remake.

I don't get it, how is this the trailer from the early 1920's if it has music from 1979!

@simpsons987 Just a small flourish. The '79 version was excellent and I thought it might be kinda neat if used in a trailer for the original version

When I have kids I'm gonna keep them far away from Twilight and show them this so they know that real Vampires are supposed to make you piss ur pants not jizz in them.

I bet that movie gave people nightmares for weeks back in the 20s. The fact that it is in rough black and white footage kind of adds to the creepiness.

It fits perfectly and I am kind of obsessed with leaving classic films alone. They put New Age music to Chaney's Phantom. So I threw it out but found another copy that had the original music. So if I say it fits, you know it does. Good job with this.

actually it wasn't just because he gave them out it was made. They asked Bram Stolker's wife could they make a film about Dracula and she said no so they changed the names so it wouldn't be the same thing. they changed the story line just enough to make the film but she still tried to get money off them. justice as she called it. brilliant movie
