Mezo 2001 Silent Screamers action figure line.
Nosferatu from the 1922 film
The figure goes for exaggerated proportions but as the original design started with these, it fits with the limbs and torso. Also they went to town with the rats on the base. Good purchase for vampire fans.
CUE "DÜSSELDORF MONSTER" BY CHURCH OF MISERY FOR THIS ONE.
PIC INFO: Resolution at 1280x1832 -- Spotlight on an Italian movie poster for the 1960 re-release of the groundbreaking and crirtically-acclaimed crime thriller "M" (1931), (renamed "The Monster of Düsseldorf), co-written & directed by Fritz Lang. Artwork by Niso "Kremos" Ramponi.
FILM/POSTER OVERVIEW: "Inspired by the crimes of a real-life murderer at large in Düsseldorf, Peter Kürten, German director Fritz Lang created yet another classic that ventured outside the normal bounds of early filmmaking, and laid the foundations for a whole new genre in the process. Peter Lorre gave the performance of a lifetime as child killer Hans Beckert, a part specifically written for the actor by Lang himself.
Despite it being his first ever starring role, Lorre's bone chilling performance disturbed audiences and enthralled critics, gaining international praise and the attention of Hollywood. Lang considered this picture his greatest work, a well-earned distinction considering its instrumental influence on the burgeoning film noir genre."

This is a movie that I found while looking for movies from 1923 in the horror genre for my Centennial Club. This is one from Germany and loosely falls into the expressionism movement. We get an interesting cautionary tale about not coveting another man's wife. It also doesn't feature inter-titles which was a first. Have you heard of this one?

One of the birthday presents Mom bought me, this cool glass and black metal frame to hold this lovely picture of Conrad Veidt I found on eBay. Conrad is one of my favorite historical figures, as an actor and a person. He is best known for being a star of the German expressionist movement. His most famous roles are in “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” and “The Man Who Laughs”. He’s also known for playing Major Strasser in “Casablanca” and other Nazi parts, which is ironic because he was very much against that party, to the point where he was heavily involved in anti-Nazi theatre and had to flee his native Germany because he found out there were plans to kill him. He died in 1943 of a heart attack, so he didn’t live to see the Nazis’ defeat, but he left most of his estate to the war effort. Yeah, he needs to be more well-known and there needs to be a biopic about him. You rock, Conrad. #ClassicActors #SilentFilms #GermanExpressionism #thecabinetofdrcaligari #UniversalClassics #TheManWhoLaughs #Gwynplaine #VictorHugo #ConradVeidt #Casablanca #MajorStrasser #GermanActors #AntiNaziBadasses https://www.instagram.com/p/CcBceP3vCis/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
