We found out a couple of years back that The Witch director Robert Eggers was set to take on a remake of the 1922 silent classic Nosferatu.

Now it’s been announced that Eggers’ breakout star from The Witch, Anya Taylor-Joy, is in negotiations to reunite with him for the remake.

Many, many vampire movies have been made over the years, most of which were inspired by Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. But the first feature-length vampire movie of them all was none other than 1922’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, or simply Nosferatu.

The movie was directed by F.W. Murnau and starred Max Schreck in the lead role as Count Orlok, and it was based on Stoker’s Dracula…though not officially. They couldn’t secure the rights to adapt the novel, so they simply made something very similar but different. Hence Count Orlok instead of Count Dracula, and so on. The Stoker estate sued and the court ordered that all copies of Nosferatu be destroyed but, thankfully for us, a few copies made it and it eventually became a legend of the horror genre.

Now a remake of Nosferatu is in the works at Jeff Robinov‘s Studio 8, with Robert Eggers set to write and direct the remake.

Chances are you’ve seen, or at least heard of, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror if you’re a movie fan. The 1922 silent film is one of the first feature horror movies ever made, and the first featuring a vampire—an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula.

With his currently running Kickstarter campaign, filmmaker David Lee Fisher hopes to give Nosferatu the “visual remix” treatment, which may sound strange but it is quite interesting. He has an intriguing plan, lead star, and some crew in place, and he’s not seeking all that much money to make it. But they do still have a ways to go before reaching their goal, and time is running out. That’s when we fine folks come in!

Don’t you just love it when something great just comes together? Take Nosferatu Wars, for instance. Originally published in four parts in Dark Horse Presents #26-#29, this comic is a perfect example of a classic vampire story. And what makes it even better is the way the creators twist this tale to bring us something completely out of this world.

Centered around two vampires, Tarquin and Moira, we are given a story of unfettered bloodlust and carnage mingled with a love affair that has stretched for ages. The setting is the old world and the time is that of the Black Death. Using this horrible plague as a cover for their nightly exploits, the two undead lovers travel towards the estate of a nobleman with deadly purpose.

Upon arrival there, they are faced with seemingly overwhelming odds that quickly turn in their favor thanks to their strength and ruthlessness. Slaying much of the household, they present the lord of the manor with a proposition, one he quickly accepts. But as with all things, the devil is in the details as he soon finds out.

The $11 t-shirt deal of the day over at TeeFury today is a Buffy The Vampire Slayer-inspired mash-up with Nosferatu called “The Nosferatu Slayer” by Six Eyed Monster.

The sale began at Teefury today, Wednesday, February 5, 2014, at midnight EST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site for $11 anymore, though it will continue into the next day for $14 (look for the After Hours bar at the top).

For all you vampire fanatics out there, artist Ben Douglass has created this pretty nifty and chuckle-worthy infographic that showcases 12 of the most famous vampires of film, television, and breakfast cereals.
