Count Orlok Known As Dracula, Is Ready For A Bite

Dracula

Nosferatu was my first horror movie. It scared me so much as a child that I was unable to sleep, and that was only in one move to do that since. The vampire as a theme in popular culture is epidemic. Count Orlok is portrayed by German actor Max Schreck 1879–1936 in the silent film titled ‘Nosferatu’ 1922 based on Bram Stoker’s character.

Written in the 1890s, from a hundred pages of notes and drawing from local folklore, history suggested various figures that created the idea for his name. The Wallachian prince Vlad, he found the name Dracula in Whitby’s public library while on holiday, thinking it meant ‘devil’ in Romanian.
