Then they discuss the only horror film on the Vatican film list, F.W. Murnau's silent Dracula adaptation <em>Nosferatu</em> (1922), along with Werner Herzog's amazing modern adaptation of Murnau, <em>Nosferatu the Vampyre</em> (1979).</span></div> <div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa"> </div> <div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa"><span class= "style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">The best versions of these films are streaming on the Criterion Channel. There you will find Murnau's version with its original orchestral score, and Herzog's version in its German language version (it was shot simultaneously in both German and English, and Herzog considered the German to be definitive). But perfectly fine versions are on YouTube:</span></div> <div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa"> </div> <div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa"><span class= "style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">F.W.
