Max Schreck: “I Should Have Been In Twilight”

NosferatuHOLLYWOOD - Max Schreck, the world’s most beloved on-screen vampire and star of the 1922 classic “Nosferatu,” is furious that the producers of the “Twilight” film series didn’t offer him a role.

Mr. Schreck made his feelings known in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight anchorwoman Mary Hart that aired last night.

“What does Robert Pattison have that I don’t have?” he asked. “Do the hacks running these studios really believe that millions of teenage girls are going to flock to theaters to see that pasty-faced twit? Mark my words: this picture is going to be a bigger disaster than the Hindenburg. And believe me, I know. I flew Hindenburg on my first trip to the states.”

Mr. Schreck conceded that there may be a bit of professional jealousy involved.

“After all, I kind of invented the vampire as teen heart-throb thing. My picture was on more bedroom walls back in the day than Rudy Vallee and Russ Columbo combined!”

Still, he’s optimistic that he’ll get work in one of the future movie versions of the popular series. “And if I don’t, I can always go back to modeling.”
