Stoker’s heirs sued for copyright infringement, resulting in a court order to destroy all copies of the film. Fortunately, several prints survived.

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror was produced by Prana Film as an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula .

It introduced the trope that direct sunlight can destroy a vampire, a detail not present in the original Dracula novel.

Directed by Robert Eggers, this adaptation focuses on a haunted young woman (Lily-Rose Depp) and the vampire (Bill Skarsgård) who is infatuated with her, bringing "untold horror" to 19th-century Germany.
