  1. Lydia says:

    The author mentions the name difference because the movie, Nosferatu (1922), is an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel. The filmmakers at Prana Film couldn’t secure the rights to use the Dracula name and characters.

    • Lydia says:

      To avoid copyright infringement, they made several changes:

      Character Names: Count Dracula became Count Orlok.

      Location Names: Transylvania became a fictional location in the Carpathian mountains.

      Other Details: Some plot elements were also slightly altered.

      Even with these changes, the story remains quite similar to Dracula, following a young man traveling to meet a mysterious count in a remote location and the subsequent chilling events.
