The vampire Count Orlok
from the 1922 film Nosferatu

Nosferatu was the one and only production of Prana Films. They were sued by the widow of Bram Stoker for unauthorized use of the Dracula story. 


The company went bankrupt and all copies of the film were ordered destroyed. Thankfully, a few copies escaped destruction.
