A Christmas gift of a video!!! Thank you!!
Happy Holidays! I don't believe in the supernatural but your intro gets me feeling nostalgic every single time! Hope everyone has a great and happy holiday, whatever you celebrate 🙂
For some reason, I thought that rolling thunder sound effect was outside my house. I was like, "I didn't think it was supposed to storm…" Man, I felt stupid, lol.
MERRY CHRISTMAS SIR DEBUNK
Happy holiday’s y’all!! Thanks for all the content
My first reaction was intrigue the use of shadows and color is really well done
My new nickname for my black and white cat. Nosefuratu
Happy holidays man❤
I just want to quickly thank you for pronouncing "macabre" correctly. Lot of young creators are saying "mah-cob-bruh"
The posters are quite strange but fascinating. The details are wonderful exaggerations , and they tell a story just by looking at them. They did a wonderful job making those posters.❤
I got to attend a screening of Eggers' Nosferatu last night and personally I loved it. It's super creepy and atmospheric, the score is wonderful and Eggers' depiction of Orlok was pretty cool. Definitely check it out! Happy Holidays!
I married a goth Soviet chick! Required viewing! Story awesome. Movie, not so much.
I’m sorry but if your first thought upon seeing Orlock was, that’s a Jew, then that says a whole lot about you as a person.
Like that’s a freaky looking monster, you should be thinking What the hell is that thing? I never really thought of rats either. I just saw a very wrong, deformed thing that shouldn’t go together. I remember not being able to sleep after seeing him appear in that episode of SpongeBob as a kid.
You should work over, "The Birth of a Nation"! An American President screened it in the Whitehouse and segregated the government. He also made it illegal to read the Declaration of Independence… out loud. Progressivism!
Nosferatu? thats the guy from spongebob. didnt know they gave him his own movie
hey i am a big fan of your channel love the retro style. when i saw the nosfeartu's poster i didn't feel much of the dread i guess i watched too much horror movies. still think in olden days how people would react
You guys gave us a good gift this Christmas!
Is this spoilers for the nosferatu movie coming out.
I'm planning to see it with a friend on Christmas day.
I like the original artwork for the film and it can be thought of as the start of the "shadow man" figure as part of modern paranormal lore. Its just used as a metaphor for defining the mirror image of goodness or "Godliness" which is part of what the original occultist movement was based on, even though it is highly debated over who was the original creator. Cool art and will remain timeless as will the beliefs that are associated with it …
The best Christmas gift you could give us, thank you guys and happy holidays! Also can I ask you the name of the song that starts at the "Max Schrek" part of the video?
Scared as fuck. if I had seen this as a kidd. yeah no, Imma run. Epic video man.
Abysmal👹Nothingness
AMAZING VIDEO DUDE! I'm so hyped to go see this new take on this story. The behind the scenes info about it has been fascinating. The new low light camera technology, The character development commitment, the voice training. I'm just very excited!
One thing that, I think, also adds to this movie is the fact that unless you're a silent movie buff, all these actors are completely unknown to modern audiences.
I love that SpongeBob basically made Nosferatu a recurring character, like he shows up every now and again and I love it.
never have i said "yes" to death and disease so quickly
Any murder mystery videos in the future Debunk?
And Merry Christmas 🎄
Insert saying of having two nickels since William Defoe is in both films related to Nosferatu.
It's jews
To be honest I don't think the notion of Max Schrek being some sort of "real" vampire ever existed until the premise was presented in the film Shadow of the Vampire, at least I had never heard of the idea until then and I have been an avid vampire/Dracula/Nosferatu fan since the 1970s.
I'm trying to get all of the old Silent Horror Films on Blu-Ray that I can find. I've even managed to see short, creepy films that was made WAY BACK in the 1890's.
Nosferatu, Phantom Carriage, Haxan, Faust and more.
I’m so glad that this film did not remain lost I watched it a couple of years ago and I immediately felt its eerie aura but I thoroughly enjoyed it haven’t watched any of the remakes though so those are on my list
Occultism in Europe exploded exponentially after WWI. There were so many men who lost their lives in that war that many of their families would seek out esoteric mystics. That was ESPECIALLY true in the more well-heeled families of Europe.
Father Christmas has delivered my present
Merry Christmas 🎄 Debunk File 😀
I thought his origins were from that one SpongeBob episode? 😂
imagine being such an amazing actor that people question whether you're actually human lmao
oh, and merry christmas debunk gang!
It's almost 6am and i havent slept maybe ill be able to fall alseep while listening to some debunkfile 💀
7:16– That one poster of Orlok sitting on the roof is so fascinating. As well as being painted as an intimidating presence, there's an understated but quiet melancholy to it, as if he's lamenting his own lost humanity. No matter how close he gets to people, his nature dooms him to the vestiges of civilization as a deathly living relic.
I was very lucky and got to see Nosferatu at a town theater when I was in collage. If you ever get the chance to see it that way I highly suggest it. Makes it very magical.
Few silent movies have had a legacy that lasted as long as Nosferatu. I’d have it slightly beating Birth of a Nation for greatest silent movie ever.
I have seen a 2k restoration of Nosferatu this summer. I was one of the first people to see it by chance since I've seen it in an outdoor cinema at the start of august and it released sometime in autumn. This version was also the first to have a czech between word oh however are those cards with text called so I cpuld actually understand it since I don't speak german. It was an experience to see it and now that I have learned more about this movie thanks to you I feel great. Thank you for this. 😀
help i didn't know this was an actual movie i thought it was going to be abt that guy who dances in a nosefuratu costume
12:32 literally the meme of, please dont talk about monkeys, its so racially charged to black people…
Its the guy from spongebob!!
Another Debunk File banger! 🔥🔥🔥
Merry Christmas y'all! 🎄🎁
Nosferatu from 1922 is one of my favorite films. Here in Brazil, we are releasing a comic book adaptation of the film, whose script I wrote, and the art was all done by hand, with brush and Indian ink.
Just watched this movie last night, it’s still one of my favorite movies of all time
I love the look of black & white film stock in those days (ortho, I assume for Nosferatu_) — didn't look like simply desaturated color film, it gives me the same vibe as old engravings or charcoal/graphite artwork, where without color, more basic elements are used to express ideas. Schreck's vampire-bat teeth were creepy but for me his claws were creepier; when I was a little child I saw a traditional Indonesian dance live, likely the "long fingernail" dance, and with the strange musical sounds and the long fingers, that spooked me at the time, when I was still a-scared of skeletons. The only thing about watching _Nosferatu is which musical score you get, there's different versions going around.
