Still scariest Dracula. And incredible the film still exists today, given it was supposed to be destroyed for violating copyright law.

First silent movie I ever saw! In 1976 no less. A PBS station inexplicably ran it in the middle of the day when I was home sick instead of being in school. It’s haunted me ever since. The missing frames when ol’ Max rises out of his coffin made it into a scary jump cut.
Shadow of The Vampire is a creepy and fictional behind the scenes tale about the making of Nosferatu, that’s pretty good if you haven’t seen it.

People thumbing their noses at the powers that be to save a movie from oblivion? Sounds kind of familiar. 😉
