Shadow
of the Vampire
The 2000 film Shadow of the Vampire presented
a fictional account of the filming of Nosferatu in which
Schreck (played by Willem Dafoe) is actually a vampire.
In Kim Newman's Anno Dracula, Orlok serves in the
Carpathian Guards of Dracula and is the Governor of the
Tower of London. Orlok appears as part of the German
forces, along with other silent film characters such as
Doctor Caligari and Doctor Mabuse, trying to create the
Red Baron in Newman's sequel, The Bloody Red Baron.
In the roleplaying game Vampire: the Masquerade, the
Nosferatu are closely based on Count Orlok.
Orlok has also been featured on several occasions in
the popular Castlevania video game series. First, he
served as a boss in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night,
in which he is referred to as Orlox. Also, in
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Orlox's Suit can be
equipped as armor.
Orlok was portrayed under the name "Nosferatu" in the
highly popular SpongeBob SquarePants TV show, where at
the end of the episode "The Graveyard Shift" he was
shown turning a light switch on and off.
Additionally, Californian cinema grind band Graf
Orlock took their name from the character.
