Nosferatu (1922)
THE CINEMA SHOCK HALLOWEEN SPECIAL
“Blood is life! Blood is life!!”
A few weeks ago, we were invited by our friends at GUTPUNCH asked us to co-host a live screening of the classic silent film NOSFERATU for the first ever Cinema Shock live event!
While we were able to discuss a lot of the film's backstory at that screening, the history of NOSFERATU is so rich that we felt it deserved a true, Cinema Shock-style deep dive.
So in this, our Halloween gift to you, we're going to discuss the full story behind the creation of one of the most influential horror films of all time, F.W. Murnau's NOSFERATU!
