The sun'll come out tomorrow.

Bet your bottom dollar. That tomorrow There'll be sun! Original title: Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens This is a Chronicle of the great Death in Wishborg, 1838 The original story is as old as the Carpathian Mountains. A real estate agent, Knock (Alexander Granach), gets a mysterious request from a far-off land; Count Graf Orlok (Max Schreck) needs a new abode. He sends his best man, Hutter (Gustav v. W-a-n-g-e-n-h-e-i-m), to seal the deal. The mysterious being, Nosferatu, has nefarious purposes that will seal more than the deal, and in the process, is attracted to a tasty Mrs. Hutter (Greta Schroeder). This is the 1922 F.W. Murnau's silent German classic adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The movie follows the book a little closer than today's movies do. There were a few necessary changes. I believe that was the nature of movies around 1922. Max Schreck did an excellent job of playing the deviant snacker. Although no variations can come close to this original film, many people think of Werner Herzog's 1978 film “Nosferatu the Vampyre” as a good variation, which this also my personal favorite, as I am a fan of Klaus Kinski. I suggest that you look at some of the others and see what you think and who you consider the real Dracula. A fun variation is watching this with a different musical background. “Nosferatu: Del Rey & The Sun Kings” (2013).
