2024's Nosferatu movie boasts a star-studded lineup of incredible actors led by Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Nicholas Hoult.

Bill Skarsgård - Count Orlok
Bill Skarsgård brings the terrifying Count Orlok to life in Nosferatu.
Count Orlok is a deadly vampire and a hideous demonic creature whose abilities include superhuman strength, speed, shapeshifting, and someone who can turn into a mist.
He is cunning and can lure victims into his trap. Unlike Dracula, who turns other people into vampires, Orlok simply kills his victims.
According to The Book of Vampires by Dudley Wright, Orlok is an evil spirit created from the seed of Belial (aka the lieutenant of Satan).
Skarsgård is best known for playing Pennywise in IT and IT Chapter Two, Eric Draven in 2024's The Crow, and Keith in Barbarian.
He is also part of the cast of John Wick: Chapter 4 as the movie's main antagonist.
