While the most famous horror monsters wouldn’t appear until the 1930s, the 1920s marked the beginning of horror films. This decade introduced early villains like the Phantom of the Opera and the Hunchback of Notre Dame to the big screen. However, Max Schreck’s performance as Count Orlok in the 1922 German Expressionist film *Nosferatu* remains the most iconic and terrifying. Even today, this unforgettable vampire is considered the true starting point for horror, vampire, and supernatural monster movies. Despite being banned when it was first released, Orlok is now recognized as the most memorable villain from 1920s horror.

Meet the King of Time, a sophisticated character with a walking stick and top hat who brings a unique twist to the game: time travel!
