#Nosferatu (Count Orlok)

Count Orlok is the titular antagonist of the 1922 German Expressionist horror film *Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens* (Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror), directed by F.W. Murnau. Portrayed by Max Schreck, Orlok is a vampire who preys on the residents of Wisborg after inviting Thomas Hutter to his remote Transylvanian castle. His gaunt appearance, rat-like features, and long, pointed fingers are iconic representations of the vampire archetype in cinema.
