All of us has grown
knowning tales like Little Red Riding Hood or Frankenstein, seriously doubting
about existence of aliens or ghosts, believing on Santa Claus or Easter Bunny.
However, there's a story, that due to his specificity on space and time, makes
him one that is able to letting you think if it's real or just fiction,
Dracula. On this ultra-famous book is where was created one of the most popular
terms to talk about vampires, Nosferatu.
Nosferatu,
basically, would be a synonym of vampire, but it's also a movie, entitled
"Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror", that, really... as soon as I saw
it, my mind just went out of place. As a german expressionist vampire
horror film, released on 1922 and filmed by F.W. Murnau, it scared my whole
childhood. Until now, I find it so creepy and horrifying.
Like every vampire (at leas, the “original”
vampires), he has big teeth to suck blood of their victims, he can’t tolerate
sunray so he is pretty more active in the night. This way, it sounds like any
other “classic” vampire, but, just look at his face. With a bald head, he has sharp
ears (like elf’s ears), some kind of “natural”, giants and darks eye bags, with
very thick eyebrows, unnatural large fingers and basically, every single tooth is (or looks) like a
fang.
I always remember the scene where he opens the door of a room and stays in front of it, or another in which he’s going upstairs, and you
only see his shadow contour.
What a bad memories I have of it…
I don`t like these pictures....
