Nosnailatu

Miss Lucy knew she shouldn't have invited him in, but she just couldn't resist those eyes...

 

The name Nosferatu is possibly an archaic Romanian word, synonymous with "vampire". However, it was largely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Western fiction such as Dracula (1897), and the film Nosferatu (1922), a German horror film directed by F.W. Murnau and starring Max Schreck as the vampire Count Orlok.

There is a species of marine mollusc, Cumia reticulata, known as the vampire snail. It feeds on the blood of fish while they sleep, secreting anaesthetic and anticoagulant into the bite location. Isn't nature wonderful?

 

No dolls or snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
