W. Murnau's classic 1922 silent horror fest Nosferatu, star Klaus Kinski adopted the same makeup style used by Murnau's leading man Max Schreck. Major difference: Kinski was by far the better actor, and his makeup became more and more decayed and desiccated as the film progressed. Essentially a retelling of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu the Vampyre traces the blood-sucking progress of the Count as he takes over a small German village, then attempts to spread his influence and activities to the rest of the world. All that prevents Dracula from continuing his demonic practices is the self-sacrifice of Lucy Harker, played by Isabelle Adjani. Director Werner Herzog used the story to parallel the rise of Nazism. The film was lensed in the Dutch towns of Delft and Scheiberg.
