It was quite refreshing to have the Count just be a disgusting, evil freak with zero redeeming qualities. He doesn't even bother pretending to be polite at first in this one and is immediately arrogant and abrasive, before he's even done any vampire stuff.
Even just restricting comparisons to Nosferatu films, Orlok in the 1922 film is more like a starving animal, in 1979 he's a pathetic wretch, and even in Shadow of the Vampire he's somewhere in between those two. A completely unsympathetic version, like the Stoker novel's Dracula, is rare.
