The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day will cost you sweat, tears and perhaps a little blood.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
Of course I had to follow-up yesterday’s Nosferatu remake picture with one from the original 1922 silent film. I received this still right before posting yesterday’s Nosferatu pic, so I’d like to think that The Great Pumpkin is watching out for all of its little boils and ghouls during this festive holiday season!
Now this particular shot isn’t exactly super behind the scenes-y. There are no cameras, no crew, just one of the creepiest fucking actors in one of the creepiest fucking make-ups of all time taking a load off.
This is by far the scariest of all the Halloween BTS images and, I believe, further proof to back up the historical accuracy of the great, underappreciated SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE. Max Schreck was a real life vampire. No man “lounges” like that.
Thanks to reader Russell for sending the image in!
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes Pic leaves vampires behind and moves on to Martians. See ya’ then!

...atmospheric and downright uncomfortable. Great pic.
-
One of the best horror films ever made.
-
So say we all.
-
So say we all.
-
on TCM....awesome film!
-
Good work.
-
And how a vampire SHOULD look
-
That movie had so much potencial. It's a shame that turn out the way it did.
-
With Beiber and make it Gibson's comeback role.
-
it lasts forever.
-
True story. Just for the record.
-
But, how about some bts pics of some horror movies in color! Like 28 days later, Dawn of the Dead remake, Evil Dead II, The Descent, Poltergeist, 30 Days of Night, Saw, The Ring, Resident Evil, Hellrasier, Drag Me To Hell, Candyman....just to name a few!
-
Like the edges. I dunno. I've never seen the film so I can't even begin to determine its validity. Nor do I know anything about old-timey photography. Whatever.
-
is scarier than the horror movies of late.

i remember watching Shadow of the Vampire as a kid
by dioxholsteroperationsoutpost
there was so much in it i didn understand. like was he a real vampire or what exactly? and whats with that orgy scene? why was it all weird ?? never saw it again.
-
There is something about the grainy black and white in Nosferatu that makes it seem more realistic, and therefore scarier, than any other vampire movie. Schreck was magnificent. I have seen Shadow of the Vampire several times and love it. I don't understand the hate that movie is getting.

Who first put vampires and werewolves against each other?
by dioxholsteroperationsoutpost
and who included atlantis in the picture?
-
That would make a nice desktop.
-
My thoughts exactly. Looks like he could just jump right out at you. Awesome.
-
Wheres Bella to comfort him?
-
That's Keanu Reeves. And he is sad.
-
Best pic yet!
-
is a Behind the Scene Pic of Spaced Invaders. The 1990 creepier-than-they-probably-intended family comedy classic.
-
That movie has one of the most chilling endings of any horror movie I've ever seen. Very, very underrated gem.
-
and yes it is creepy as all hell. I can only imagine everyone avoiding Max like the plague and not looking him in the eyes. I would give anything to see everyone's first reaction when he walked on set...yowza!
-
Like Rand Paul.
-
Epic, genius...
And we have to put up with
Twilight today... :( -
I read somewhere that they can find no records or "crew" who remember doing any "prosthetic make-up work on Shrek for Nosferatu. He just showed up that way everyday and was totally fuckin creepy. Kinda like Daniel Day Lewis playing an unhappy Sloth. who occassionally kills people.
-
I thought that the constant pop culture references were obvious, random, and unfunny; and Eddie Murphy's character lapsed into black-face racism.
-
did I miss who won the behind the scnes pic of the day contest?... I swear I was watching for it?
-
Of all pictures, not only on this site, but really EVER!! Thanks a lot, Quint!!!!!
-
Of course Schreck was NOT a vampire. He was a theatre actor and only appeared in one more movie besides “Nosferatu“. I can't remember the title (only saw a still with Schreck in it), but it was also a german production. He died with only 56, but to that point had appeared in 725 (!!) different roles and characters. If anyone likes to see him in other roles (Like Chaney mostly in heavy makeup) and also without any make-up at all, looky here http://www.max-schreck.com/
-
Beautiful, simple image
-
I remember an '80s SNEAK PREVIEWS episode where Siskel and Ebert discussed their favorite horror movies. They showed a grainy clip of NOSFERATU, and it scared the shit out of me. Murnau's NOSFERATU beats Tod Browning's DRACULA to a pulp.
