I know it is a fact of film making that, when you can’t think of a new idea, why not just re-use an old one? I know the latter part of the twentieth century has been fertile territory for recent features but how about going back a bit further? Like to 1922?
Who is Nosferatu?
Nosferatu is an archaic Romanian word for vampire and the vampire in question is called Count Orlok. He isn’t named Count Dracula because the original Nosferatu was an unauthorised, unofficial version of the 1897 Bram Stoker novel. The resemblance very nearly meant that Nosferatu was lost forever after a judge ordered all copies of the 1922 film to be destroyed. Thankfully some prints survived, or this film would never have been made.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
November 17, 2019
One of the most useful apps I’ve ever come across. I’ve used it for years and recommended it to all my friends. Even if I’m not the type to have to pee during movies often, being able to pull up the app and pass my phone to my mom/friend/grandma so that they know when to go to the bathroom has been invaluable. Because then I don’t have to summarize anything when they get back!!

Nosferatu’s Backstory
Basically, it is the Dracula story with a few changed names so you probably already know all you need to know before you go in.
