I respect the impact that Nosferatu had on the film (specifically horror) industry. That said, I didn't enjoy the film at all. I found it to be awfully slow and boring.

Fuck :eek: this film is getting on in age isn't it?

and it's about the only horror film that's actually scary...to me at least.

You sound like my friend who refuses to watch movies if they're black and white. Do you like classic moviees?? Because, for a silent movie, I actually thought it was pretty scary and exciting. I absolutely love the "coming up the stairway" scene.

Haha, i bought the orgional black and white film on VHS from the library for a dollar.

NICE! I love library sales, I usually end up with 10-15 Stephen King books...I'm pretty positive I'm close to owning his whole collection, and I cant imagine I've spent more than $25 on it. 25 cent paperbacks? Hell yah.

damn straight. once they go in the for sale box it's easy pickin's for the thrifty. Thus, Nosferatu became mine and King's collection became (is becoming) yours. The Library is also an excellent place to rent classic or modern horror films (any kind of film really) for free. To hell with blockbuster.

I agree, libraries are generally so much better. In my local it costs less to rent a DVD for 7 days than it does in Blockbuster to rent one for 3 days.

Nosferatu is such a masterpiece, it was the first real horror movie I ever saw, when I was about 7 and it enthralled me from even then. Unfortunately my DVD edition is that which has the terrible music which clashes with the picture so badly, but I find that an easy, if obvious, remedy for this is to simply turn off the sound...

unfortunately, i own that one too. mine also has the original names from the dracula novel (ie. jonathon and mina harker) in the subtitles, although they couldnt use the names in the original movie because of copyright issues. hmmm, oh well. still one of my favorites.

Wow this post is still here, wow I'll be posting more.
