The 100th Anniversary of Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens

It as 100 years ago today that Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922) was released in Germany. Along with The Phantom of the Opera (1925), it may well be the most famous silent horror movie of all time. It is also one of the most famous adaptations of Bram Stoker's Dracula, despite being wholly unauthorized. Despite a successful copyright infringement lawsuit by Bram Stoker's widow Florence Stoker, Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens would prove to be one of the most influential, if not the most influential, vampire movie of all time.Indeed, it was Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens that introduced the idea that vampires can be destroyed by sunlight (it isn't found in folkore).

I have already written several posts mentioning Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens, so I won't repeat myself here. I will simply direct people to my 2015 post Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922). You can read it here.
