If Bram Stoker gave birth to the vampire in literature, then Nosferatu gave birth to the vampire in cinema. Nosferatu is the first vampire who protagonized cinema in 1922 during the silent era, the very beginning of cinema. F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu (1922) distinguishes itself from Bram Stoker’s classic by asserting love and eroticism, rather than violence, defeats the vampire and its evil.
