Nosferatu

This was one of those cases where, as soon as I saw the scene, I thought “There’s a picture!“.

The hunch shouldered look immediately brought to mind the iconic scene of the vampire, Nosferatu, ascending a staircase as a shadow. In this case it’s not a member of the undead blocking the light, but inventor and engineer, James Watt, whose statue stands on a plinth just out of frame. The second shot shows the culprit in better detail.
