While “Nosferatu” may be taking Christmas by storm, it wasn’t always met with such enthusiasm. Back in the 1920s, when the original film version of “Dracula” was released in Germany, it was deemed too strange for American audiences.

From plays and musicals to action figures and beer, “Nosferatu” has had a major influence on pop culture, with references popping up in everything from music to TV shows. And with the release of the new film, the legacy of “Nosferatu” is set to continue for years to come.

So, as we gear up for the premiere of “Nosferatu” this Christmas, let’s celebrate the enduring spirit of this iconic vampire tale. Who would’ve thought that a film made without permission would go on to become a legend, captivating audiences for generations to come? The tale of “Nosferatu” is a reminder that sometimes, the most haunting stories are the ones that refuse to die.
