Fantastic thread on the filming locations for Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre. Many thanks @slipperyjack.bsky.social for all the work you put into it.
Richard WellsNerd tourism alert! 🦇 Here are some shot matches from my Netherlands trip where I sought out shooting locations from Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979).

Great article by @world-of-telly.bsky.social which explores the complexity of Beasts transmission order. They've tracked down ratings for the episodes, something that I couldn't source when writing the book! Marvelous stuff.
