Answer: Bram Stoker's widow has refused to sell the film rights for Draculato F.W. Murnau, so Murnau [John Malkovich] decides to film it anyway, changing the names ofthe characters, the title, and the locations. Thus, Dracula becomesNosferatu, Transylvania and England become Germany, Count Draculabecomes Count Orlock, and Mina becomes Ellen. After filming the beginningsof the movie on a soundstage in Berlin, Murnau is anxious to get cast andcrew to Czechloslovakia where they will be meeting up with Max Schreck [Willem Dafoe],the vampire hired by Murnau to play an actor playing a vampire.Murnau introduces Max Schreck as a character actor from the ReinholdCompany and explains that Schreck will remain in character at all times.Yet no one, not even producer Albin Grau [Udo Kier] knows anything about him. As avampire, Schreck is no Dracula. He is old and bald. He can't remember hishumanity; he knows only that his turning had to do with a woman, whoseface has long ago passed from his memory. He has lost most of his powers,e.g., his strength and his ability to pass through locked doors. He hasn'tseen the light of the sun for centuries. He lives in the filth of anabandoned abbey, keeping himself alive on the blood of the occasional rathe can catch. He thinks the saddest part of Dracula, which he read afterMurnau gave him a copy, is when Dracula was forced cook for Harker becausehe had no servants. He reads and angsts over Goethe's poem about Tithonus,a mortal who wished for immortality but forgot to ask for external youthand is now aged, powerless, and yet must endure...just like himself. Hehas agreed to make this film only because Murnau has promised to providehim with blood during the filming and, at the end of the movie, Murnau haspromised that Schreck can feed on Greta [Catherine McCormack], the actress who is playing EllenHarker.As the filming progresses, Schreck's performance is both inspiringand creepy, inspiring in how he captures the essence of the vampire andcreepy in his own personality...

Answer: The movie includes four interwoven tales:Opening: A couple dressed as a robot and Flash Gordon return to their home, the front lawn decorated with numerous 'ghost-crows' (scarecrow-style ghosts) and lit pumpkins. The robot, Emma (Leslie Bibb), takes a jack-o'-lantern to blow out the light but her boyfriend, Henry (Tahmoh Penikett), tells her that it's against tradition to un-decorate before midnight. Emma asserts that she wants all the decorations gone before her mother visits the next morning, saying that the yard looks like a crime scene, and blows out the candle. Henry, a true fan of the holiday, promises to remove everything early the next morning and convinces Emma to meet him inside for some "alone time". While he goes in to "put on the tape", Emma starts to take down some of the decorations down, uttering the unforgivable "I hate Halloween". As she removes the sheets off one of the ghost-crows, it lunges at her, covering her in the white cloth. In the ensuing struggle, Emma tumbles onto the sidewalk where passing trick-or-treaters stop to investigate. Under the sheets, a figure takes a bitten pumpkin-shaped sucker and slits Emma's throat. Her blood stains through the sheets and the children run away. The hidden assailant drags Emma's body back to the yard as Henry lies upstairs, passed out and with the TV on high volume. Some time later, he notices Emma has not come up and goes down to the yard where he notices that one of the ghost-crows now has lights attached to it. He removes the sheet and screams at the sight of Emma's disembodied head on a stake, the pumpkin sucker lodged in her mouth.Meanwhile, the Halloween festivities and parties continue throughout the town and a parade marches down the main street while the silhouette of a short figure walks through the crowd, dragging a burlap bag with a dark stain at the bottom.1. The Principal - A portly boy walks through the neighborhood knocking over jack-o'-lanterns. He stops at one house and walks up to the porch where it appears no one is home. A...

Answer:
Jeanne (Maria Schneider) is a 20-year-old Parisian woman wondering the streets looking for an apartment to live for herself and her fiancee. She goes alone to look at an apartment in a region of the Left Bank. There, she runs into a middle-aged, obviously depressed man (Marlon Brando) who is also looking at it. Jeanne quickly identifies him as an American because of his thick accent while they are communicating in French. After a few minutes of silence and some quiet dialogue, he picks her up, backs her against a wall, rips off her panties and has sex with her in the deserted apartment. They are very passionate yet never introduce themselves. When it is over, they each go their separate ways.Jeanne goes to the Paris Metro train station to meet her fiancee Tom (Jean-Pierre Leaud), a young television documentarian who has just returned to Paris following an assignment. They walk back to Jeanne's apartment where she currently lives with her mother having taken care of her since her father, a soldier in the French Foreign Legion, was killed in action in 1958 in Algeria. Despite their genuine loving engagement to be married, Jeanne is unhappy and annoyed that Tom insists on doing a cinema verite documentary all about her life and of her father, who is a well-known war hero. He films everything she does.Meanwhile, the middle-aged American man, who is named Paul, returns to a flophouse hotel in a run-down part of the city where he ventures to his apartment and watches a maid wash blood off the bathtub and surrounding walls. The maid speaks to Paul about the fact his French wife, Rose, two days earlier committed suicide in the bathtub by slashing her wrists. Paul doesn't say much and goes to his room to be by himself.The next day, Paul and Jeanne rendezvous back at the vacant apartment. Paul lays out ground rules that they are never to reveal their names to each other and never to discuss the outside world or to talk about their pasts. They are to meet there twice a week only for sex and tell no one about each other....
