The film "Nosferatu" was filmed in 1922 by F.W. Murnau and was one of the creepiest movies of its time. it was a silent black and white film with music playing throughout, which i think was good for it. This film probably wouldn't have worked if it hadn't been silent because it added that kind of creepy element to the whole movie. I think this film was successful beyond any scary film and held that spot for decades. I find it astounding that a film with that kind of budget and technology can still have people waking up to the sight of Nosferatu in their sleep. They created a very effective vampire if i do say so myself.
