nosferatu....Max schreck

On the back of the most under rated movie thread, i did a bit of a sniff around about one of the films i listed.
And since it's comming up to haloween, i thought that you would find this interesting.
It's a piece about Max Schreck , the actor who played Count Orlock in the original, and best vampire flick, Nosferatu.

Ever seen the movie Shadow of the Vampire?

Based on the making of Nosferatu, but taking the premise that Schreck was actually a vampire in real life.

Schreck is played by Willem Dafoe, and FW Murnau was played by John Malkovich.

Pure fiction, but a fabulous movie!

Aha!

I've now just gone to the Underrated Movies thread and seen that you were talking about Shadow of the Vampire in the first place...

I'll be over there ------->

And I don't think we need the writer anymore... ;)
