Back in the late seventies & early eighties WNET Channel 13 NY used to show Nosferatu on Halloween. A classic horror film from 1922 starring Max Schreck. Directed by F.W. Murnau, it is a silent German Expressionist film that, to this day, remains one of the scariest things you'll ever see. I was wholly disappointed in the latest remake...so under-exposed you could barely see details, though it had its charm - namely the landscapes. In 1977 Blue Oyster Cult released this song on their Spectres album, with lyrics by artist/poet Helen Wheels (Helen Robins). I've always enjoyed it.
