Old Fears in Oil
The first time I saw the original Nosferatu, it was a 16mm print with the tinting restored - blue for night, amber for day. I've never seen the Herzog Nosferatu in theater, only on video and DVD.

Oh, The Horror. The Horror….
Oh, The Horror. The Horror. I love horror fiction, and films. The weirder, the better. But, I don't think I'll ever be able to successfully write it.
