POP NOTES | OPINION: ‘Nosferatu’ at AMFA — Murnau’s 1922 vampire classic refused to die

Max Schreck’s pointed ears, rodentlike teeth and elongated fingers helped make Count Orlok an icon of screen horror in “Nosferatu.”

“Nosferatu” was the first movie on DVD I bought. It was a bargain edition on a label I no longer remember, acquired because I had begun to understand the professional utility of keeping a library of classic films.
