"Not my first viewing, but I watched the narrated version on YouTube, Nosfaratu. :A Symphony of Horrors and it was very interesting. Narrated by Historian Lokke Heiss on the M. B. Archives channel. Check it out. "

"This German-produced film is a classic for anyone, but especially horror movie lovers. The actor who played Nosferatu is Max Shreck. (Some believed that he played his character too well, and was, in fact, a Vampire! 😲 Remember, this was the 1920's.) In German, Shreck means "Terror." That description is certainly fitting for this classic film. Jonathan Hutter feels shock and terror when he realizes he has been tricked and abused by his host. He also longs to see his lovely bride, Ellen, and escape danger. This is such a great film."
