* The Strangers from ''Film/DarkCity'', while not as facially deformed as Orlok himself, do strongly give off the same impression with their pallor, baldness and eerie movements.

* The Master in ''Jakob's Wife'' looks like Orlok - other vampires, like Anne, look like ordinary (if pale) humans until they feed, at which point they grow rat-like incisors and their eyes turn red. The movie also seems to run with The Master's rat-like appearance by having actual rats appear frequently, including having a character devoured by presumably vampiric monster rats when they unknowingly enter his lair.

* ''Anime/{{Hellsing}}'': The antagonist Incognito's appearance seems to be based on that of Count Orlok. By contrast, Alucard is based on the more popular imagery of the [[EvilIsSexy suave]] Dracula. Then again, {{Alucard}} ''[[SdrawkcabAlias is]]'' [[SdrawkcabAlias Dracula]].

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'': Vampires of the Necrarch bloodline often resemble rotting or desiccated corpses with long ears and hairless skulls, while the Strigoi are giant, mutated batlike bloodsuckers that are barely human. Necrarchs get this way due to being immersed in dark magic, while the outcast Strigoi developed it from drinking the blood of vermin, the diseased, and the dead.
