parchment-style title card
On screen
From Belial's seed there Sprang the Vampyre Nosferatu, who liveth and feedeth on human blode. The unholy creature liveth in sinyster caves, tombs and coffins. These are filled with cursed earth from the fields of the Black Death
Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: ominous, foreboding; themes: vampirism, supernatural evil, gothic horror; style notes: The frame uses a static, centered shot of a title card with Gothic typography and a parchment texture, characteristic of silent film intertitles. The lighting is flat and focused on the text, creating a stark, dramatic effect.

A single frame displays a parchment-style title card with Gothic text describing the origin and nature of the vampire Nosferatu. The text mentions his emergence from 'Belial's seed', his sustenance on human blood, and his dwelling in sinister tombs filled with cursed earth.

The record

Published 1922, so any US term has expired; no US registration under this title appears in the catalog. The status is a calculation from the date, not a finding about a record. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
