The Nosferatu are a fictional clan of vampires from WhiteWolf Game Studio's Vampire: The Masquerade, Vampire: The Dark Ages and Vampire: The Requiem books and role-playing games.
Nosferatu frequently reside in catacombs, cemeteries, and sewers.
In Vampire: The Masquerade, the Nosferatu are associated with the Camarilla.
Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens ("A Symphony of Horrors" in German) is a German Expressionist film originally shot in 1922 by F.W. Murnau.
Nosferatu's castle, for instance, is the Orava castle in northern Slovakia.
Murnau's Nosferatu is in the public domain, and copies of the movie are widely available on video—usually as poorly transferred, faded, scratched video copies that are often scorned by enthusiasts.
