I’ve always been curious about Nosferatu and instead of just going off the random appearance on Spongebob I decided to actually watch it. Made in 1922 it’s a silent film that was unauthorized and ordered by courts to be destroyed. Luckily it was already shipped over seas and was preserved for our viewing pleasure. It’s free on YouTube if you’re wanting to watch it too.
Normally I would say that anyone influenced by Nosferatu to actually bite somebody would be a dumb asshole responsible for their own actions. But I don’t think the owner reslized jusy how essily influenced and stupid fluffy ponies are…
The fact that he was shocked his owner hurt him makes me think he was just playing around and didn’t know he could hurt his dad (or knew Fluffies can’t really hurt humans.)
I kind of like the idea that the fluffy was just playing Nosferatu in a totally cute way, pretending to bite daddy while he slept like in the silly old movie. Unfortunately the default human response to waking up with something biting you is violence because it’s how we survived this long.
What makes it even more interesting is it shouldn’t even exist today. Following a lawsuit from Bram Stoker’s estate, all copies were ordered destroyed. A couple managed to make it through and once it entered the public domain copies were made and it became common.
