The star of Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is Bill Skarsgård's Count Orlok, whose terrifying set of abilities is pulled directly from Romanian folklore. The fourth film by Robert Eggers, Nosferatu sees Skarsgård's Orlok torment an entire seaside city in Germany after journeying from his castle in Eastern Europe. Both Count Orlok and his inspiration Count Dracula hail from Transylvania, a real region in present-day central Romania, nestled between the Carpathian Mountains and the Transylvanian Alps. The vampire mythology at the heart of their stories is adapted from the real-world lore of that part of the world.
