Now we're talking! A film that's a century old that still manages to get an audience. Speaking of Count Dracula, I highly recommend the 1931 film with Bela Lugosi.
Orava Castle, in Slovakia, was used for Orlock's castle. The rest was filmed in Germany. You might want to check out "Shadow Of The Vampire". It has an interesting "what if" take on the making of this film. John Malkovich plays F W Murnau, and Willem Dafoe is Max Shreck.
Thank you. I am not sure "Nosferatu" can be called the first horror film, being predated by both "Der Golem" (1915) and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1920), as well as many less notable movies, rather I think the three together codify what a horror movie is and set the scene for "Dracula" in 1931. If you are going to watch Dracula please take a look at the Spanish language version, off screen. It was shot simultaneously with the English Bela Lugosi version, and is cinematographically superior, though the lack of Lugosi's practiced performance is telling. Carl Theodor Dreyer's "Vampyr" (1932) is also worth a look as one of the last of the commercial silent horror movies.
I love this! And thank you so much for reading the intertitles out loud. I'm a visually impaired fan of silent film and having the titles read aloud makes the viewing experience easier for me. So great to see people reacting to the classics. Two other silents I'd recommend are "The Phantom of the Opera" (1925) and "The Man Who Laughs" (1928). "The Man Who Laughs", which is based on the book of the same name by Victor Hugo, is credited as the film that inspired the creation of the Joker, but of course, it's also so much more than just that little pop culture tidbit. And for another lesser-known classic, "Cat People" from 1942 is great. It's about a woman who's cursed to turn into a panther whenever she becomes angry or aroused, and how she deals with the various people in her life who try to convince her the curse is just in her head. You guys rock. I just found and subscribed to you thanks to your "Phantom of the Paradise" reaction. Keep doing what you do!
1:26:40 - I'm with you, hon. I think he was padded. Alexander Granach, who played Knock, appeared in a Greta Garbo film in 1939, "Ninotchka", and he looked fairly trim in it. His English was also fantastic!! After watching this film, it was great to hear his actual voice and see his real face.
added to last comment. your question of where this was filmed, this was what I heard. The castle we see is the ruins of Cachtice Castle. Which is befitting for this film since the castle is a bram stoker connection. although vlad tepes aka vlad the impaler is often known as the inspiration for the nocel dracula. it was his name alone The real muse to bram's novel was a woman! Her name was elizabeth Bathory aka the blood countess whose blood lust and history bram used to build his iconic character. a quick story about Bathory. She's known as the worlds first female serial killer. she's in the guisness world records for her kill count which began arounf the mid or late 16th century and ended early 17th century. Her reasons? Blood of virgin women extended her life and preserved her beauty. she also had some scary creative methods on blood letting her victims. to this day in the very castle cachtice where her murders happened bodies are still being found and the number of victims grow the latest number is a whopping 600 something. Catchtice castle is also a tourist attraction and ghost hunting zone.
Where is the castle in Nosferatu?  The castle was built in the Kingdom of Hungary in the thirteenth century. Many scenes of the 1922 film Nosferatu were filmed here, the castle representing Count Orlok's Transylvanian castle. Orava Castle stands on the site of an old wooden fortification, built after the Mongol invasion of Hungary of 1241.
How about checking out Lon Chaney in "The Phantom Of The Opera"? I think the lovely roommate will enjoy it, Grave. It's also in the public domain, so you won't have to edit it!! Yay!!!
speaking of pride and prejudice and zombies, I recommend My fair zombie like jane austen novel it's an adaption of my fair lady but instead of an audrey hepburn poor girl we have a crazy eyed zombie being taught to be a lady
I actually liked the movie the last voyage of the Demeter saw it in the theaters really and that one also changed the story slightly which is interesting. Never saw this one so it was interesting to see it with you both. I actually liked the book of Dracula but ya it was a bit strange with all the diary enteries and such. Good reaction guys and your dog is very cute.
