In Lieu Of Today's Dailies, How About A FULL Vampire Movie?

There's not a whole lot of news pouring out of Hollywood today. Other than the news WE make, of course. I'm sure I could dig up a few snippets, such a "Deadwood" star John Hawkes joining "Lost" as a recurring character in its final season (The Hollywood Reporter) or a new, unused trailer for "Halloween II" surfacing (Bloody Disgusting), but wouldn't you rather watch a movie about vampires?

This isn't just any vampire movie. This is F.W. Murnau's "Nosferatu," starring Max Schreck as the freaky looking blood-sucker. I'm not entirely certain that it's the first vampire movie, but it's certainly one of the most well-known and frequently revisited films of cinema's silent era. All of you Twilighters in particular, check this out and keep an open mind. It's challenging even as silent film goes, but it gives you an early glimpse of the fundamental elements that helped turn "Twilight" into phenomenon.
