	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE
		Schreck grabs what looks like a bat out of midair and bites into it, but we don't see anything graphic or gory, although there appears to be some blood on Schreck's lips afterwards.
		Schreck grabs what looks like a bat out of midair and bites into it, but we don't see anything graphic or bloody (beyond some blood on his lip).
		Schreck attacks a man (in a vampire fashion) and we then see that man's body falling off a tall, full-scale boat prop (but we don't see the impact on the ground).

		Schreck's acting methods soon prove to be quite unconventional, to say the least.
		Schreck shoots his scenes only at night, remains in costume at all times, and, like Herman Munster, his ghoulish mug never seems to require any additional makeup to terrify all around this nocturnal backdrop.
		The deal was that Schreck would take directions and not injure the crew until the end of the film when he would be allowed to have the leading lady.

		The new movie "Shadow of the Vampire" playfully suggests Schreck performed the rodent-fanged villain so well because he was a real-life monster who sucked the blood from his co-stars and crew.
		The rumor is fueled by the fact that pictures of Schreck without his makeup are rare, there are few records of his life and most of his later films have been lost, said David J. Skal, a film scholar and author of "Hollywood Gothic" about the history of vampire movies.
		Schreck returned to the Munich theater in 1926 and played small roles until his death 10 years later from a heart attack.

		When Max Schreck took his turn in the role (under the smokescreen name “Count Orlock”) in Nosferatu, his performance owed nothing to anyone, for his was the original screen interpretation.
		Schreck was an obscure character actor when F. Murnau hired him, and he resumed being an obscure character actor the moment he hung up his fangs.
		Schreck, or so Murnau warns his colleagues, is what would today be called a method actor, and a bizarrely dedicated one at that.

	CANOE -- JAM! - Making of a monster
		Willem Dafoe is enormously fond of Max Schreck, his blood-sucking, bat-eating, rat-like character in the new movie Shadow Of The Vampire.
		The Max Schreck whom Dafoe plays is the obscure German character actor who starred as the vampire Count Orlok (or Orlock in some reference books) in the 1922 German expressionist film Nosferatu: A Symphony Of Horror, one of the most influential classics of the silent era.
		Even though Shadow Of The Vampire uses real names, such as Schreck and director F.W. Murnau (who died scandal-ridden with his 14-year-old Filipino boy-valet in a car accident in Hollywood in 1931), the new film is a work of surrealistic fantasy.

		Played at a time where makeup effects were minimal, the ghastly vision of actor Max Schreck’s demonic Orlak still disturbs viewers, reaching across 80 years of cinematic history and chilling audiences like a hand from beyond the grave.
		Schreck, he tells them, will not appear out of character, and he does not wish to fraternize with the crew.
		But, so convincing is Murnau’s explanation of their new companions odd behavior, even when “Schreck” (Willem Dafoe) shows a propensity for biting the heads of rodents Ozzy-Osbourne style and gets caught lunging at the jugular of the cinematographer, no one in the cast really seems to give it a second thought.

		The light-bulb-headed actor Max Schreck played the title character with ratlike chisel teeth, a seaman's coat, a furze of hair around his ears, and clawed fingers as long as spider-crab legs.
		Schreck is not a familiar figure, so Dafoe doesn't have any memories to displace.
		Drinking and chatting with Schreck one night, he's startled to see the actor grabbing a passing bat out of the air to eat as a snack.

		Schreck is unfazed and makes demands on the director; Murnau acquiesces as long as Schreck stays away from his crew.
		That night, Schreck goes to the crew's lodging to see her, but Greta gets high on morphine and is locked tight in her room.
		The cast is perfect; John Malkovich hits the right notes as the obsessed Murnau and Willem Dafoe is uncanny as "Max Schreck" (he was nominated for an Academy Award, deservedly so.) Udo Kier and a subdued Eddie Izzard are very good in their supporting roles as Grau and Gustav as well.

	SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE
		The new film Shadow of the Vampire brings the legend of Schreck to the big screen over 70 years after the creepy actor put his unique stamp on what many consider to be the greatest portrayal of a vampire ever.
		In Vampire, Schreck is presented to the cast and crew of Nosferatu as one of the craft’s first method actors.
		In order to keep Schreck from wreaking total havoc on the set, Murnau promises to “give” the morphine-addicted female lead to Schreck once the filming is completed, provided he behaves himself.

		It results in an intriguing fictionalized account of the shooting by cashing in on the mystery surrounding the Reinhardt actor Max Schreck, who was portrayed by Merzihige as a real vampire and is shown acting on the set as if he certainly was one.
		The brilliant actor was pampered and appeared before cast members always in character which led to a comical belief that he was influenced by Stanislavsky, the founder of the method acting school, who has his actors get fully absorbed into their characters.
		Schreck is given some human dimensions (his cry of loneliness) and can be pitied for the monster he is. But, the true monster, according to Merige, might be Murnau because of his disregard for others to satisfy his own vanities.

		Max Schreck, the mysterious actor who played Court Orlock the vampire, is so persuasive we never think of the actor, only of the creature.
		"Willem Dafoe is Max Schreck." I put quotes around that because it's not just a line for a movie ad but the truth: He embodies the Schreck of "Nosferatu" so uncannily that when real scenes from the silent classic are slipped into the frame, we don't notice a difference.
		She of course does not understand this, and is a trooper, putting up with Schreck for the sake of art, even though he reeks of decay.

	Nosferatu, Dracula and who is Max Schreck anyway?
		The answer is no. He, like many of his film contemporaries was primarily a stage actor and of very solid reputation, if not a star of any reknown.
		Murnau hired Schreck for the role of Orlock after meeting him personally, having been introduced by Reinhardt and recognizing his talent.
