10 Classic Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die
6. Nosferatu: A Symphony Of Horror (1922)
The grandfather of all things vampire and spine-chillingly creepy to this day - Nosferatu was originally released as a loose adaptation of Bram Stoker's seminal novel Dracula. Director F.W. Murnau took actor Max Schreck and transformed him into a nightmarish vision of evil so scary that he's still capable of creeping out movie-goers who revisit the classic today.

Nosferatu came about as early as 1922, and is still remarkable for the ways in which it pretty much influenced every horror movie that followed in its shadow. What's surprising, perhaps, is - almost 100 years after it was first released - how watchable Nosferatu is, and what's even more surprising is just how scary it is.
