Jul 12th - Several coffins, including one containing Orlok, were loaded onto a ship. When it arrived in Wisborg, the entire crew was dead. 📽️📅 Nosferatu (1922)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Nosferatu" (1922): First, an intertitle on a black screen with pale blue-green text reading “We’ve looked everywhere…not a living soul on board.” Second, a shadowy sepia-toned shot of a man with curly hair and a cloak reading from a large book below deck on a ship, surrounded by ropes and dim wooden structures. Third, a yellow-tinted close-up of a handwritten ship’s log entry labeled “Varna – July 12.” with English subtitles at the bottom reading “Varna — July 12. Crew — besides myself the captain:”
