Nosferatu was touched upon in Bram Stokers’ 1897 novel Dracula. Referring to the more common label of an evil, blood sucking and living dead entity known as a vampire, Nosferatu is also the title of the silent film from 1922 and its inevitable recent remake from 2024.
If my memory is correct, I first watched the 1922 silent film Nosferatu when I was in the 7th grade, going back to 1978/1979. I remember sneaking into the living room very late at night, while my parents and sister were asleep, just to watch this iconic silent film on the local community access channel, via the television. Needless to say, I had the shit scared out of me that night and loved it!
Since I was a kid, I’ve been a fan of all the classic horror films and especially the Universal Monsters franchise. Fast forward to this past Summer of 2025 and I acquired this creepy and yet stunning action figure of Count Orlok from the Nosferatu silent film. By way of a straight up trade, (equaling to twenty U.S. dollars), I was grinning to own this sinister figure that has evoked my memory in such a fun and spooky way. Metal be thy name. – Stone
Bonus Fact: Max Schreck was a German actor who portrayed Count Orlok in the 1922 silent film Nosferatu.
