Director F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, made in 1921 after the devastating Spanish Flu pandemic, has become the ultimate cult classic among horror film buffs around the world. For years, there was much speculation about the production background, the filmmakers and the star--German actor Max Schreck. This greatly expanded new edition, based upon rare sources and years of dedicated research, tells the complete story of how a group of occultists established a leading film company that would produce a momentous series of horror movies. Along the way, other classic German fantasy silents, such as The Golem, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Metropolis, are discussed. Featured in this edition are photographs, documents and interviews, including one with Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Dracula author Bram Stoker.
