For a movie that is a hundred years old, this film has aged surprisingly well, especially in regards to Max Schreck's performance as Count Orlok.

* The game over screen can be this once you realize that the photograph slightly alters itself to reflect Erin's vampirification.

to:

\n* The bad ending. Should the player die at least eight times before finishing the game, Nosferatu will bite Erin before Kyle reaches either. After defeating the vampire, Kyle reunites with her as he normally would, but is bit by her as they embrace, accompanied by bleak text. Then the Game Over music [[JumpScare suddenly blasts out]] of nowhere.
* The game over screen can be this once screen, which shows a monochrome photograph of Kyle and Erin, happy together, also shows how many continue the player has left on the Japanese version. This in itself is pretty tame, however, if you realize that die at least eight times, the photograph slightly alters itself alters, showing Erin with fangs and a more distorted brow, to reflect Erin's vampirification.signal the inevitability of the bad ending.
** If you choose not to continue in less than eight tries, you get a short scene with Nosferatu preparing to bite Erin and make her his as dramatic fanfare plays in the background. Simple, but effective.

! From the 1979 remake
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nosferatu_the_vampyre.jpg]]
* In Creator/WernerHerzog's 1979 remake the opening shots are rather creepy. We first see images of real preserved bodies filmed inside the catacombs of a [[UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}} Mexican]] graveyard. Then a slow motion shot of a flying bat in black-and-white is shown. This is followed by actress Creator/IsabelleAdjani awakening from a nightmare and screaming out in fright.
* The scene in the remake where Harker meets Dracula. He prepares a meal for him and while Harker eats, Dracula never takes his eyes off him or even blinks. After a few minutes Harker cuts his finger and Dracula tries to suck the blood from it. When Harker pulls away they stare at each other for a moment before Dracula knocks Harker's chair aside and moves toward him. Harker backs away into a chair in front of the hearth and Dracula visibly struggles to restrain himself.
* [[DownerEnding The ending]] is even more horrifying that the original. Harker, now a vampire, leaves the plagued village to spread death elsewhere and presumably create more vampires.

* Orlock's appearance in general. He's a creepy, [[LeanAndMean rail thin]], bald, rat looking man with CreepilyLongFingers.
