Count Orlok in Robert Eggers' NOSFERATU (w/ Chris Cooney)

We continue our "Too Hot to Rot" triple feature with Robert Eggers' 2024 Nosferatu, joined by returning guest Chris Cooney of Dead Noise Media. We dig into Bill Skarsgård's Count Orlok (the voice training, the prosthetics, the hat debate) and compare this version to the 1922 original and Bram Stoker's Dracula. 

In this episode:

• Why this Nosferatu shares so much DNA with Bram Stoker's Dracula, the 1922 original, and Shadow of the Vampire
• Robert Eggers' practical-effects obsession: 2,000 real trained rats, real wolves, and potato-flakes for snow
• Bill Skarsgård's transformation into Count Orlok: an opera coach, a lowered vocal register, and 4-6 hours in prosthetics designed by David White
• The mustache and hat debate: why Orlok looks so different from past versions
• The Lost Boys on Broadway
