  • In 1922 Max Schreck starred in the horror classic Nosferatu, a silent film that, along with The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, birthed an entire genre. In today's Wholesome Halloween we'll go through a little history lesson on the birth of our favourite cinematic genre and talk about Nosferatu's place as it's great grandparent.

      That's what I ask myself everyday 😭

    Somehow, you forgot the most important element of the film: Scary Armadillo!
    Jokes aside, great video, and for once one about a movie my usually horror-avoiding self has seen!

    Brilliant video Skeledan. Love the depth you went into on this one. And also the care and variation and selections of the entire series tbf 👏

    Thank you for the history lesson- I haven’t heard of many of these shorts and films, gotta add them to my TBR for sure

    German cinema in a northern accent. You-tube auto-subs really didn't stand a chance.

      I like to give them a challenge.

    absolutely agree with your assessment on the problematic elements. this stuff in old media should be addressed without ignoring it but also without getting defensive about it.
    really a shame that so much horror is lost to time though. maybe loss of media was the real horror all along.

    I was blessed to watch this film for the first time with a live orchestral accompaniment, in a famously haunted theatre, on Halloween night. With a preface from a silent film expert talking about it's history. Genuinely one of the best experiences of my life. I had so much fun. I remember a young kid got really scared at one point and his mum had to carry him out while he was crying so it can definitely still pack a horror punch or at the very least traumatised that one kid

    Phenomenal overview of the movie and its legacy, loved watching this. Would definitely be interested in some more historical horror deep dives.

    The version of Nosferatu i originally watched was the one with the score from Type O Negative

    I've always loved this movie and yes it was pretty much the birth of horror.

    I think Van Helsing is supposed to be Dutch. Anyway, great video!

    Circling back to this one after the Robert Eggers trailer dropped. Don't know if you're planning for a video on it, but I'd love to hear your thoughts after it comes out.

    On the hateful imagery topic, feel it might also be worth entertaining the idea of reverse iconography. These tropes and ideas definitely predate the movie, but there's a wide array of tropes in that vein (pun). But the success of the movie led to it being ADOPTED by the antisemites as a simple and accessible point of reference. "THOSE people, ya know, like Count Orlock!"
    This would, of course, not be mutually exclusive to your point, that the racism was a sort of background radiation that influenced the movie indirectly in how it was made.

      I absolutely agree with you on this. I really think that Goebbels et al built on the images they had already seen, particularly with the likes of Jud Suss, equating the visions of rats carrying "plague".

    The black and white is whatever, but I always use subtitles so I think I could have watched this with silent movie text (*if the music is tolerable).

    Me watching nosferatu for the first time just cause the remake trailer dropped. "I-Is nosferatu a jewish stereotype?"
    I'm glad I wasn't crazy
