"Schreck" is German for "terror".
An oft-told legend is that Schreck's otherworldly performance as Nosferatu was due to the fact that he was in reality a vampire. Actor Willem Dafoe portrayed him as such, playing the vampire Count Orlok in Shadow of the Vampire (2000).
In the film Batman Returns (1992), Christopher Walken played a villain named Max Shreck
