If you wanted to see it, you had to go to the theater.
For me, I was going anyway, but this added to the anticipation.
It would have made Yosemite Sam proud.

And whether you liked the choice or not, you’re not going to forget it.

Eggers added:
“It also means a mustache.

It feels like Orlok could collapse at any moment.
However, while his flesh is falling apart, that glorious mustache sure isn’t.
David White, who did the prosthetics and makeup forNosferatu,toldVarietythat he wanted Orlok to look ageless.
In Nosferatu, a reclusive vampire’s presence disrupts a small European village, drawing an unsuspecting young couple into a battle against an ancient evil. As fear spreads, the villagers must confront the terrifying legend and their own beliefs, leading to suspenseful confrontations and chilling revelations.
All right, Orlok might not look elderly and sleepy, but his skin is still falling off!
It could have been that big squirrel growing above his lip too.
I mean, he could have shaved it, but imagine taking a razor to that skin.
It makes you wonder if it got in the way.
And imagine the smell!How’s Ellen supposed to be attracted to that?!
All jokes aside, the risk works.
Nosferatuis in theaters now.
