I have a poor copy of it. Years ago, I saw a better print on PBS. I would love to see some more of this genre, i.e., Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Golem, The original 1910 Frankenstein.
The 1970s remake of Nosferatu was not bad, but there is a real eerie effect that is difficlt to capture in the original, much like the gothic styles of the 1931 Frankenstein and Dracula. Tim Burton is about the closest to recapturing that effect.

It won't let me, because I exist as alamo al already, but won't let me login that way. It gets tiresome to re-enter the same data for each post though.

I don't know what the problem is. Maybe I can delete your original account that way you can change the name of your new account. Would you like me to do that?

I´ve only seen bits of the original Nosferatu film, but the Nosferatu film (1979) with Klaus Kinski (Nastascha Kinski´s father) was great! Kinski played the part well! www.imdb.com/title/tt0079641/ |

Klaus Kinski also played Jack the Ripper in one of his more memorable roles...

Kinski's Nosferatu was a bit whimpy as opposed to the original, who was more shadowy but he really played it well.
Davy, every time I see your Icon, it reminds me of "Good Morning David (Bowman)".

The Kinski version was okay, and I'll leave it at that. Just can't beat originals.
