Number 5: Nosferatu (1922).

Yes, it's silent film time again. One of the earliest vampires on film, and not a bit of sparkle to be found. Nope, Count Orlok is closer to what one of the Undead should look like. No trailer this time, just one of the better vids I found, so enjoy. I was like 4 when I first saw this, my older cousins took me to a 'film festival' -- ah, those were the good ol' days, before movie rules and regulations got so picky.

Hoo yeah, Orlok and the older version of Dracula that Oldman played both fit the gypsy idea of vampires so perfectly. Those fuckers crawled out of their graves through your window, raped you, drank your blood, went back to their grave, and then repeat process the next evening......... @_@

I know!! It's, erm, interesting to see how vampires have changed over the years in film and in print.
