1) Nosferatu (1922)

Long before Dracula donned his cape and charmed his victims, there was Nosferatu, a spectral nightmare of silent cinema, steeped in German Expressionism and etched into horror history. F.W. Murnau’s illicit and unofficial take on Bram Stoker’s Dracula reshaped the vampire legend into a chilling, nightmarish vision that remains deeply unsettling to this day. With his emaciated frame, hollow eyes, rodent features, and eerily long fingers, Max Schreck’s Count Orlok is the embodiment of pure dread. It is a masterclass in vintage horror.
