The more than 100-year-old character appeared in episodes of ‘SpongeBob’
The director of the new version of Nosferatu, Robert Eggersthanked SpongeBob for introducing children to the vampire universe created at the beginning of the 20th century.
During the film’s premiere in Los Angeles last Thursday, the 12th, the filmmaker was asked by The Hollywood Reporter whether he knew about the character’s history in Nickelodeon animation.
There was a series called Muppet Babies When I was a child I used to watch parts of the Phantom of the Opera of Lon Chaney and older versions of Cyrano de Bergerac and things like that. This strange cartoon introduced me to many films that I watched when I was a little older with various memories of Muppet Babies. So thank you, SpongeBob. – Robert Eggers
