Hi! I am a serious horror movie fan, and I'm delighted you so much enjoyed the new Nosferatu. The original 1922 film ~ although being literally more than a century old ~ is still compelling and at moments even intrensely frightening. It's available for free viewing on YouTube. We're lucky to still have it: Its plot was so balantly ripped off from the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker that Stoker's widow sued to have all the film's copies destroyed.

I'm definitely going to take in ~ or be taken in _by_ ~ Robert Eggets' remake.

Thanks for today's theme of what Ellen might have been listening to as the Count came to vamp upon her. Great idea! And here's more about the also highly recommended 1922 "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosferatu

yes!! thanks richard

im looking forward to seeing the original nosferatu :) i think eggers did a fantastic job, clearly his life's work

@ DJ Mackerel (host) Awesome! I've got a coterie of friends who are fellow fans of high quality, artistic films of "the uncanny." We may make a group-going of it. (PS: Thie first two plays ~ especially the Beach composition ~ so definitely sound like music to which an Ellen Hutter would be listening. And they're probably very close to what a movie theater pianists and organists played to accompany the 1922 silent film verson of Nosferatu. Good choices!

wow thanks for the high praise richard :)

hope you enjoy the film!! it's a perfect one to watch with friends and discuss at length afterwards haha

A couple of my horror-expert friends love both the 1922 Murnau and 1979 Herzog films, but tell me the new Nosferatu is lousy.

Thanks DJ Mackerel, just gorgeous

110%

One of the changes Murnau made to Bram Stoker’s story is the vampire’s destruction by sunlight (something that never bothered Dracula much). That contrived weakness has since been understood as essential vampire lore.

thanks for tuning in @jrlp, always good to see you in the chat :)

@david i haven't seen the oldies so i can't attest to any comparison, but i thought eggers still made a compelling rendition!

ah yes i've heard that murnau tidbit! eggers honors the death by sunlight too

Is that one of the Partita recordings you’re partial to? (obv there are a bunch)

yes! i'm partial to itzhak perlman's performance

thanks!

Of course, tellers of new vampire stories will change the “rules” as they see fit. In Roman Polanski’s “The Fearless Vampire Killers”, Sharon Tate’s bath is interrupted by Count von Krolock’s descent through a roof aperture. According to Stoker, however, vampires can only enter one’s home if invited!

@ David Shortell That's super interesting about whether Dracula of the Bram Stoker is or is not vulnerable to sunlight, whereas in the FW Murnau classic film he surely is. I recalled Dracula was ... BUT! ... my memory may be colored by an overlay of the later movie lore. It happens in many cases.

For example, people think the villianous half of the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is apelike. In fact, that's a later movie interpretation: In the Robert Louis Stevenson novel, Hyde is strange, weird and "sketchy." And the creation scene in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is not a long, wham bam electricity and pyrotechnics event, but a short paragraph in which Victor Frankenstein reports that his labors were finally finished about 1 a.m. one morning and he saw the creature's dull yellow eyes open.

I read Stevenson’s novella (Hyde was described as considerably shorter than Jekyll!) but not his play which inspired the 1920, 1931 and 1941 movies (starring John Barrymore, Fredric March and Spencer Tracy respectively). During the “Jack the Ripper” hysteria, one pundit blamed the Whitechapel killings on a contemporary actor’s portrayal of Hyde!

these are fantastic. in contast, the first thing that popped into my head was the cure's the figurehead (pornography 1982) which says a little about me and nothing really about ellen...

hahaha

@ David Shortell Yes, it was the 1932 movie version of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring Fredric March in his Oscar-winning dual roll, that plays on Hyde as a kind of reverse evolution, a devolution to the primitive, becoming more horrifyingly simian until SPOILER ALERT when he's trapped in the laboratory by the police and Jekyll's best friend, he literally swings apelike from the rafters while trying to escape.

@ DJ Mackerel (host) Sure you're not an afficenado of classic horror movies? Your analysis of Ellen Hutter's mirror role as vamping predator to Count Orloff and her own desires ~ illustrated compellingly by lyrics to "The First Taste" by Fiona Apple is so brilliantly on target. I'm serious!

I'm going to share the link to today's aong playlist and chat with my informal uncanny film fan group. They'll thoroughly enjoy it. Thanks again for this memorable show!

thanks so much richard!! i'm an aspiring afficionado :)

Here's my attempt at a Nosferatu Happy Face icon => {:- <

I’m just Ubering around and this playlist is amazing. My riders sit quietly. I think we might be blowing their minds.
