F.W. Murnau (Friedrich Wilhelm Plumpe) (December 28, 1888 – March 11, 1931) German Expressionism film-maker, most of whose movies are now lost. Winner of the Best Artistic Achievement Academy Award for his 1927 film Sunrise: A Story of Two Humans (1927), his major genre credits include a variation on the Jekyll and Hyde theme, Der Januskopf (1919); one of the first vampire films, Nosferatu (1922), and the deal-with-the-Devil Faust (1926). He was killed in a car crash in California shortly before Dracula (1931) was released.
