The Nosferatu Story - The Seminal Horror Film, Its Predecessors and Its Enduring Legacy (2nd Revised edition)

Director F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, made in 1921, right after the devastating Spanish Flu pandemic, has become the ultimate cult classic among horror film buffs around the world. For years there was much speculation about the production background, the filmmakers, and their star, the German actor Max Schreck. This greatly expanded new edition, based upon years of dedicated research, tells the complete story drawing on rare sources. The trail leads to a group of occultists with a plan to establish a leading film company that would produce a momentous series of horror movies. Along the way, the author touches upon other classic German fantasy silents, such as The Golem, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Metropolis. New to this edition are additional photographs, documents and interviews, including one with Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker.
