I'd really be interested in finding out if anybody knows if there are reproductions made of the skull cuku clock that is in Werner Herzog's Nosferatu. I must have one!

    Have you checked out the accompanying advertisements?

    Just say the word cuckoo clock and one is magically offered!

    Sadly not one of a skull...

      sounds like the sort of thing that a devious artisan would be happy to do for you..... If you ask around you may be able to find someone who can create the Herzog cuko clock for you....;)

          My memories of watching the film lead me to believe that the clock wasn't a self-contained, fully-functioning clock. I always thought that there was a stagehand behind the wall operating everything.

          Of course, fot the pruposes of the film, I wonder where Nosferatu got the clock. Did he hire someone to make it, or did he maybe see it at a yard sale, where he picked it up along with some bath mats and violin strings.
