I seem to remember that at the time this film was made, all the negatives for the 1922 Nosferatu were thought lost. (A court order from the lawsuit in the 1920s decreed that all copies should be burned, and I don't think a 'lost' copy was uncovered until the late 1980s.) So as well as making his own film, Herzog was partly trying to restore a 'lost classic', from which only photo stills and 55-year-old eyewitness accounts survived. But I can't remember the source for this, so haven't added it to the main article. If anyone can back this up, please add it.

Page moved

As per WP:NC(UE), I have begrudgingly moved Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht to Nosferatu the Vampyre. Even though I hate that title, it's the rules. Aguirre, the Wrath of God being the prescedent.

The rats in the film

There is a contradiction in the film's article.

At first there's written that the release of the rats was refused by the mayor of Delft, and that the crew had to film that part in Schiedam. In a later paragraph, it's written that the mayor of Delft offered 5 guilders for each rat that was brought back in. One would deduce that it would be the mayor of Schiedam that did that, not Delft's, since he refused the rats' release in his town.

Also, there is no citation for that anecdote.
