Considered the first important film of the vampire genre, F.W. Murnau's 1922 classic Nosferatu has more atmosphere, ingenuity, and imagination than almost any of it’s successors. Created on a shoestring budget, Murnau used real locations and a combination of cutting-edge special effects (including negative film and double exposures) to creatue a unquely chilling atmosphere. But perhaps Nosferatu is is most renown for Max Schreck’s unforgettable performance by as Count Orlok, a.k.a. the blood-sucking Nosferatu. With his rodent-like features and long, bony-fingered hands, Schreck's vampire is an icon of screen horror. Despite minor differemces, the film is an obvious adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The subsequent lawsuit by Bram Stoker’s widow almost succeeded in driving a stake through the heart of Nosferatu, as she demanded every print of the film be destroyed. She was unsuccessful, thankfully. Nosferatu is now rightly considered a masterpiece of horror and it sparked moviedom’s rabid, never-ending fascination with vampires, the undead and Dracula. Germany, 1929, 94 min.

One of the earliest classic American horror films from Universal Pictures and the only adaptation to be sanctioned by the Stoker Estate, Dracula (1931) is a masterpiece. The special effects & set design are cutting edge, but the film belongs to Bela Lugosi, whose performance as the titular Count (reprising his role from the hit Broadway play) continues to shock, inspire & delight audiences worldwide. USA, 1931, 75 min.

About the book: Dracula The Un-Dead is a bone-chilling sequel based on Bram Stoker's own handwritten notes for characters and plot threads excised from the original edition. Written with the blessing and cooperation of Stoker family, Dracula The Un-Dead is a deeply researched, lovingly-crafted extension and celebration of one of the most popular novels in literature.
