What is "nosferatu"

n. (alternative form of Nosferatu English)

(translated as Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror; or simply Nosferatu, Nosferatu: The scourge of humanity, Terror of Dracula) is a 1922 German Expressionist horror film, directed by F. W. Murnau, starring Max Schreck as the vampire Count Orlok.The film, shot in 1921 and released in 1922, was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, with names and other details changed because the studio could not obtain the rights to the novel (for instance, "vampire" became " Nosferatu" and " Count Dracula" became "Count Orlok"). Stoker's heirs sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered that all copies of the film be destroyed. However, a few prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema. As of 2015, it is Rotten Tomatoes' second best-reviewed horror film of all time. The film was released in the United States on June 3, 1929, seven years after its original premiere in Germany, where it instantly became a hit success.This is not the first film adaptation of the novel by Bram Stoker, the first adaptation of the novel entitled Drakula (1920) had been conducted 2 years previously by an unnamed film director in Soviet Russia. Today, no known copies of this film are known to exist, which is the reason why this is believed completely lost.The second, which was released a year before this adaptation of the novel, a silent horror film called Dracula's Death (Drakula halála) by Hungarian director Károly Lajthay (this film is also considered lost).

Nosferatu was the 1979 album by the Stranglers' Hugh Cornwell's musical collaboration with Robert Williams, who was a drummer in Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. The album cover features a still from F.W. Murnau's 1922 film of the same name, with the album styled as a soundtrack to the Film. The album is dedicated to the memory of Max Schreck. The inner sleeve features song lyrics on one side and a lifesize Hannya Mask (by K.Kaneko) on the other.

'Guest' musicians on the album include Ian Underwood from Frank Zappa's band and David Walldroop. Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh of the band Devo play on the song "Rhythmic Itch", and "Wrong Way Round" features a cameo from Ian Dury as a fairground barker (listed as "Duncan Poundcake" on the album credits).

Hugh Cornwell was advised to start a solo career in case of The Stranglers breaking up due to the end of the punk-rock scene. A cover version of Cream's " White Room" was the only single to be released from the album, backed with an instrumental version of "Losers in a Lost Land", which failed to chart; however, "Wired" was included on the Stranglers' "Don't Bring Harry" EP which reached No. 41 in the UK Singles Chart.

An additional track "Grinding Gears" recorded at the same sessions was released on Robert Williams first solo album Late One Night.

Nosferatu may refer to:

• Nosferatu (word), a synonym for "vampire" first mentioned by Emily Gerard and popularized by Bram Stoker

The name "Nosferatu" has been presented as possibly an archaic Romanian word, synonymous with " vampire". However, it was largely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Western fiction such as Dracula, and the film Nosferatu. A few of the many suggested etymologies of the term are that it is derived from the Romanian Nesuferitu ("the insufferable/repugnant one") or Necuratu (" unclean spirit"), terms typically used in vernacular Romanian to designate Satan (the Devil).

Nosferatu (born September 17, 1979) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a rudo ("bad guy") character. Nosferatu's real name is not a matter of public record; although he previously worked without a mask, using the ring name Chamaco Valaguez, Jr., it has not been verified that is his real name. Mexican wrestlers often try to keep their private lives secret from the wrestling fans.

Nosferatu is a genus of cichlid fishes endemic to the Rio Panuco Basin and the tributaries of the adjacent Tamiahua Lagoon (to the South) and San Andrés Lagoon (to the North) in the states of Veracruz, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas and Querétaro, Mexico. The genus is characterized by a prolongation in the size of the symphysial pair of teeth relative to that of the other teeth in the outer row of the upper jaw (nosferatuform teeth); breeding pigmentation that consists of darkening of ventral area extending over nostrils, opercular series, and pectoral fins; depressed dorsal fin rarely expands beyond anterior third of caudal fin; and an elongated, elastic, smooth caecum adhered to a saccular stomach.

All species in Nosferatu had previously belonged to its sister genus Herichthys.
