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.
Single best investment
By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused – its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing – so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10
