In this episode of Girl Horror, we’re sinking our teeth into Nosferatu—from its silent origins in 1922 to Werner Herzog’s atmospheric 1979 remake and Robert Eggers’ highly anticipated 2024 adaptation. We’ll explore how Nosferatu has shaped horror cinema, its iconic costume design and fashion influence, and how Eggers reimagines the story with a fresh feminist perspective.

How has Count Orlok evolved over a century of film? What role does costume design play in crafting the gothic atmosphere? And how does Eggers’ take on Ellen challenge traditional portrayals of women in horror? Join me as we uncover the shadows and secrets of one of horror’s most enduring legends.

As always, stay girly, stay horrifying!
