Yes, I've seen one of the public domain versions of "Nosferatu" that are out there-the new version blows any of those away by a mile.
And yes-"Shadow of the Vampire" is also very creepy and worth watching. I loved the whole idea behind it and the acting(John Malkovitch and Willem Dafoe) was top-notch.
But let us not forget Klaus Kinskis' version from 1979. I saw that one in a theater that presents a lot of independent films and it was also excellent.
Kinski was very much up to the task and presented Count Orlock in a manner that I'm sure would of made everyone involved in the original version very proud indeed.
