Reply to comment by fat_nuts_big_buttz in Nosferatu at 100: a silent horror masterwork that continues to chill by Stonewalled89

It's Dracula with the serial numbers filed off. They changed character names to avoid getting sued by the Stoker estate, got sued anyway, lost, and every copy was ordered destroyed.

Luckily, they missed a few, so we can watch the movie today.

I saw it a year or so ago. Great sets and visuals. I guess nosferatu was more than just "that guy from the one spongebob episode"

Looking back as an adult, why the hell was that in Spongebob? Lol, it obviously wasn’t for the kids to guess and even adults that’s a hit or miss reference. A reference that doesn’t really even have a joke tied to it, Nosferatu just shows up.

I thought it was hilarious as a kid even not knowing who Nosferatu was. I don't think the joke would've hit the same if it were anyone else.
