'Vampyr'

Doesn't it look cooler whenever people spell it "vampyr?" I think so. It looks so ancient and real. As if misspelling the name makes vampires real.

Several odd notes about this film:

For one, the cinematographer allegedly half-exposed a can of film. Apparently, Theodor Dreyer loved the effect. Thus, the film has a very white, overexposed look to it.

Also, star Julian West helped finance the film and got a producer's credit. West would live another 49 years but never officially have anything to do with the film industry again.

Following Vampyr in 1932, it'd be another decade before Dreyer would direct another film due mostly to funding issues.
