The Centennial of F. W. Murnau's "Nosferatu"

This week, Gavia and Morgan celebrate the centennial of F.W. Murnau's masterful adaptation of Dracula, the 1922 film Nosferatu. They discuss the collaborative nature of he project, its influence on later vampire films, its transgressive treatment of sex, and more. They also discuss the 2000 film Shadow of the Vampire, a pulpy reinterpretation of history that stars John Malkovich and Willem Dafoe as the director and star of Nosferatu.
