Washington DC [US], September 21 (ANI): Comedian and actor Patton Oswalt recalled watching the 1922 silent German horror movie ‘Nosferatu’ at the age of 5, reported People. <\/p>\n
He talked about it in the new documentary ‘Chain Reactions’ and shared that he was attending a “Halloween activity day for kids” in Tustin, Calif., when the adults decided to put on the vampire flick amid the other festive activities. <\/p>\n
“The adults meant well,” he recalled. “They’re thinking, ‘Oh, let’s make pumpkin cookies and let’s do cut-out black cats. And we’ll show the kids an old silent movie, Nosferatu. That’ll be safe for the kids.” <\/p>\n
However, it turned out to be a major scare for him. “It’s still one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced,” Oswalt said, as quoted by People. <\/p>\n
“It was just this square of light on a wall in a library activity room, and we were just pulled out of early ’70s Tustin Meadows and into this nightmare logic German vampire world,” he recalled. <\/p>\n
The movie contained “really disturbing imagery” and “has its own creepy sense of time, gravity and logic,” Oswalt said, adding, “It really, really messes you up,” as reported by People. <\/p>\n
‘Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror’ is a 1922 silent German Expressionist vampire film directed by F. W. Murnau from a screenplay by Henrik Galeen. It stars Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a vampire who preys on the wife (Greta Schroder) of his estate agent (Gustav von Wangenheim) and brings the plague to their town. <\/p>\n
A remake was released in 2024, written and directed by Robert Eggers. The movie had an all-star cast, including Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgard, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin and Nicholas Hoult, as per the outlet. <\/p>\n
‘Chain Reactions’, directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, dives into the lasting impact of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It includes interviews with Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King and Karyn Kusama, as well as never-before-seen footage. <\/p>\n
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a 1974 American independent horror film produced, co-composed, and directed by Tobe Hooper, who co-wrote it with Kim Henkel. The film stars Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow, and Gunnar Hansen. <\/p>\n
