also, i really want there to be more vampires and so on who, instead of speaking in a charming, cultured, but vaguely old-fashioned way because they are a 275-year-old consciousness in an undead, unaging 19-year-old body, talk in embarrassingly misapplied or outdated slang and pop culture references in a failed effort to blend in with their apparent peer group

…or who speak pretty normally most of the time, but lapse into saying stuff like “GOD’S WOUNDS, YOU CUR“ when they get upset enough

vampires who got turned 30 years ago and still say “radical”

vampires who just use WAY too much 90s slang. vampires who say “booyah” when they get too excited.

vampires who mix all slang from the past 5 centuries mercilessly within the same breath and don’t even try to stop it anymore.

Unhand me, you egg-sucking, lily-livered, jive-talking, whackadoo. Foul villain! Cur! I bite my thumb at thee, you ugly motherfucker, so hasta la bye bye, daddy-o!

On a lulz note: THIS IS THE ONLY EXCUSE I CAN MAKE FOR BLOOD CANTICLE? I FEEL LIKE LESTAT IS HANGING OUT WITH YOUNG KIDS AND LIKE, KEYBOARD SMASHING OUT HIS BOOK AND BEING GOOFY CAUSE???? FOR FUN? IDK.

On a serious note: This is actually something that I super duper love on True Blood! It’s  really cool insight to see flashbacks of the characters in different flashbacks trying to blend in with different accents, and when it occasionally comes out (ie: Russell Edginton WTFFFFF) it’s actually fucking legit terrifying. 

Daniel still says radical.

I am always here for random vampire discussion!

My opinion: Orlok is so much scarier because he’s obviously monstrous, but still needs humanity in some way. Plus, the character design is just so fantastic. The costume and makeup! Unsettling, but you can still see the traces of a person in there. 

Also, the practical effects and b&w footage help Nosferatu be much more unnerving, because your brain fills in the gaps. While I am always impressed by what filmmakers can achieve with digital FX, I will always believe that practical FX have a place in horror, and just because you *can* do something digitally in post-production doesn’t mean you should.

Finally, let’s face it: Murnau had a fantastic eye for filming unsettling images. 

Your comment about the “silly dissonant soundtrack” leads me to ask: have you heard Jill Tracy and the Malcontent Orchestra’s soundtrack for Nosferatu? If not, you must give it a listen.
