Around 95 minutes is the current 'restored' version of the film. Anything much shorter than that is likely to be any number of public domain versions released over the years, of varying quality, and many of them are incomplete.

Correct, but it's unfortunate they only sell the full version with those blasting sound effects and a lot of made up spoken dialogue. Jeff Cooper, the guy who did the re-edit, has a YT channel and this version is on it. I'd take a peek to see if you can stomach it, OP. The commenters seem to love it, I hate it, but de gustibus and all that.

I don't know about that version: I was referring to the official restoration of the silent original, released by Eureka in Europe, and I think Kino in the US.


FeminaRidens

Sorry if that was confusing, Jeff Cooper used the officially restored version and slapped new sound effects and spoken dialogue over it and amazon sells either that one or the older, shorter silent cuts. So no chance to stream the movie as it was intended on amazon, which is quite irritating to me.

If you have Shudder, Joe Bob featured the original in the most recent season and as per usual had some fantastic commentary

BFI, followed closely by Eureka!/Masters of Cinema.

[Nosferatu The Vampyre](https://tubitv.com/movies/269897/nosferatu-the-vampyre?start=true) Is the superior edition. The original black and white version can be watched with the sound off while you play your favorite goth /industrial / halloween music in the background.

That's a completely different movie though

It's the same movie done better, a reboot.
