The vampire in the silent classic "Nosferatu" is definitely not the pretty and sparkly variety loved by the tweens today.

I'm not sure which musical version of the movie TCM is playing, but here's a clip from a version I saw at the Castro Theater years ago, with the Club Foot Ochestra. It's not to everyone's taste, but I thought it was pretty great...
