This retro mid-century horror pulp magazine cover for *Nosferatu* features the iconic undead vampire Count Orlok leaning menacingly over a terrified damsel in a lace nightgown, with a full moon and gothic castle visible through a bedroom window. The dramatic painted cover art uses moody dark tones, bold jagged red title lettering, and rich crimson bedding to lean into classic vintage horror pulp aesthetics, with taglines teasing tales of terror, death, and the undead. The distressed, worn cover finish evokes the look of a well-loved collectible 1950s horror fiction publication.
