A few issues - ears aren't pointed. Eyebrows don't meet. Usually, at least according to tradional lore, a vampire's eyes are bloodshot. And the skin has far too much tan to it.
fur denn die todten reiten schnell is a quote from Bram Stoker's dracula - it's said by a gypsy girl as Jonathan Harker goes to visit Count Dracula in Transylvania. :-) I'm a big vampire fan lol.
For horror fans I recommend the 2000 movie "Shadow of the Vampire" with Willem Dafoe as the 1921 actor Max Shreck, as the vampire Count Orlock, in "Nosferatu", the Bird of Death. Dafoe's facial expressions are just great to watch.
The plot revolves around the legend that when director F. W. Murnau could not get permission to film Bram Stoker's "Dracula", he went ahead with a rip-off copy (he was later sued over that), "Nosferatu", starring a real vampire, ie Max Shreck, who had made a deal with Murnau that when filming was complete, he would be able to have his way with the leading lady.
The modern movie also stars John Malkovitch as Murnau, and is very well made I think.
I've heard good things about "shadow of the vampire" haven't seen it though. I do have a copy on DVD of the original Nosferatu. Brilliant film imho.
