A Copy of A Copy: Episode 106 - Nosferatu ('22/'79/'24)

The Halloween season zombie shuffles on here at CAR RAYROB! For this month’s spooky installment of A COPY OF A COPY, Ray and Rob has decided to bite off more than they can chew by doing their first ever A Copy of A Copy of A Copy by looking at three horror classics! The first is F.W. Murnau’s silent German horror classic NOSFERATU! To buttress this pop culture staple, they will be comparing it to two of its homage sequels, the 1979 NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE directed by fellow German filmmaking giant Werner Herzog and 2024’s NOSFERATU directed by modern horror darling Robert Eggers! All three follow the journey of the young real estate agent Thomas Hutter (Jonathan Harker in Herzog’s film) as he travels to the Carpathian Mountains to meet with the elusive Count Orlok who is interested in purchasing a home in Hutter’s hometown of Wisburg and the fallout that consumes the city, as well as Thomas’s new wife Ellen (Lucy in Herzog’s film). However, each film brings its own flavor to the story and expands on different elements of the central story. Loyal listeners know that horror is not Ray’s bag, so Rob has done the unthinkable by convincing him to watch three in a row! Join us to find out how these films stack up to one another and hear if Ray actually enjoyed the experience!
