I knew I had to do one vampire this month but I didn’t want to fall into the trap of doing Dracula or someone young and sexy so when I was doing the Inktober list I deliberately chose Count Orlok from Nosferatu.

I confess I have only seen Herzog’s remake with Klaus Kinski as the Count so I have amused memories of him dragging his coffin around to the overused chords of the overture of  Das Rheingold.

I have no idea if the Rats were a thing in F. W. Murnau‘s original.
