Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)

Before we tackle Robert Eggers' Nosferatu (2024), Brandon and I
take on Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979). Klaus
Kinski stars as Count Dracula, not Count Orlock in this version.
Isabelle Adjani stars as Lucy Harker. Kinski played Renfield
opposite Christopher Lee's Dracula in Jess Franco's Count Dracula
(1970)!





1979 was a big year for Dracula! There were three films featuring
Bram Stoker's Vampire Count...Dracula directed by John Badham
starring Frank Langella, Love at First Bite directed by Stan
Dragoti starring George Hamilton, and Nosferatu the Vampyre! Join
us on our Nosferatu journey and let us know your favorite! Plot:
Count Dracula moves from Transylvania to Wismar, spreading the
Black Plague across the land. Only a woman pure of heart can
bring an end to his reign of horror. Taglines: Nosferatu...he who
is doomed to wander alone in darkness. Nosferatu...he who is
condemned to destroy even those whom he loves. Nosferatu...a tale
of seduction in the dark night of the soul. It is fear and fun.
It is a scream of horror and a cry of delight. It is Nosferatu,
the Vampyre. ...He who is doomed to wander alone in darkness.
...He who is condemned to destroy even those whom he loves.
