Nosferatu (1922) is one of the most influential horror films ever made, but few people know it was almost completely destroyed. In this video, we explore the fascinating true story behind the film's legal troubles, why it was banned in some places, and how a copyright lawsuit nearly erased it from history forever.
Discover how director F. W. Murnau created an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, why Stoker's estate took legal action, and how courts ordered nearly every copy of the film to be destroyed. Despite those efforts, a handful of surviving prints preserved this silent horror masterpiece for future generations.
