'Nosferatu' Wasn’t Bill Skarsgård’s First Time Playing a Vampire

It has now been over a month since Robert Eggers' (The Witch) critically acclaimed remake of the classic horror film, Nosferatu, was released in theaters. It has even become such a big box office that it has gained four Oscar nominations, including for Best Cinematography. The fantasy-horror director flawlessly cast Count Orlok from It'sPennywise the Clown (2017), Bill Skarsgård. Skarsgård blew everyone away with his sinister performance as the ancient vampire, so that it was hard to grasp that it was him under all that makeup. He was initially cast as Thomas Hutter until Eggers was impressed by his performance as Pennywise.
