When Count Orlok's vampire powers wake her up in the middle of the night again, she makes the difficult decision to open the window and invite him in. She then wakes her husband, Thomas Hutter, and asks him to summon Professor Bulver. While Hutter runs to fetch Bulver, Count Orlok makes his way into their home and sucks Ellen's blood. This clip illustrates the common trope that vampires cannot enter a home until invited and includes the notable scene of Count Orlok's silhouette climbing the stairs.

About the film - Nosferatu: a Symphony of Horror is a visual retelling of Bram Stoker's famous novel, Dracula. This 1922 German Expressionist, silent film has become a pilar of the horror genre and inspired over a hundred years of vampire movies. Nosferatu introduced new stylistic and visual storytelling elements that are still used today.

Nosferatu was produced by Prana films, directed by F.W Murnau, and stars Max Schreck, Gustav von Wangenheim, and Greta Schröder.\n
