Nosferatu

One of the first movies to truly terrify audiences, Nosferatu. In 2000 Shadow of the Vampire was made about the filming of the movie Nosferatu, originally released in 1922. The film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu is still a cult hit and movie theaters around the country (and probably abroad) play the film for scary movie buffs and vampire fans. The website in the link above has a good background of the film as well as other historical and cultural ties.
