'Nosferatu' Has a Peacock Streaming Date. Here's How to Watch

Are you a horror fan, even on Valentine's Day? Peacock just announced the vampire flick Nosferatu will stream in one week.

The gothic horror tale revolves around a young woman (Lily-Rose Depp) and a ghastly bloodsucker (an unrecognizable Bill Skarsgård) who's obsessed with her. It's a remake of the silent film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror and director Robert Eggers' fourth film following The Witch, The Lighthouse and The Northman. Nosferatu is up for four Oscars for best costume design, makeup and hairstyling, cinematography and production design. 

According to Peacock, the movie's "never-before-seen-in-theaters extended cut" will also haunt the streaming service in seven days. If you want to watch the flick that also stars Nicholas Hoult and Willem Dafoe, here's when you can sink your teeth in.

When to watch Nosferatu on Peacock

Peacock will start carrying the horror movie on Friday, Feb. 21.

The ad-supported version of the streaming service usually costs $8 a month or $80 a year, but if you don't already have a subscription, you can get the annual plan at the discounted price of $30 right now. The code to use is WINTERSAVINGS, valid until Feb. 18. If you want to stream Peacock without ads, you'll need a Premium Plus subscription, which costs $14 monthly or $140 yearly.

You can also watch Nosferatu without Peacock by renting it digitally, but it'll run you $20 at Fandango at Home or Amazon.

How to watch Nosferatu from anywhere with a VPN

Perhaps you're traveling abroad and want to stream Peacock while away from home. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the movie from anywhere in the world. There are also other good reasons to use a VPN for streaming.

A VPN is the best way to encrypt your traffic to stop your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. Using a VPN is also a great idea if you're traveling and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and log-ins when connecting to Wi-Fi networks. Streaming TV can be a bit smoother with a reliable, quality VPN that's passed our tests and meets our security standards.

You can use a VPN to stream content legally as long as VPNs are allowed in your country and you have a valid subscription to the streaming service you're using. The US and Canada are among the countries where VPNs are legal, but we advise against streaming or downloading content on illegal torrent sites. We recommend ExpressVPN, but you may opt for another provider from our best list, such as Surfshark or NordVPN.

Follow the VPN provider's instructions for installation, and choose a country where Nosferatu will be streaming on Peacock. Before you open the streaming app, make sure you're connected to your VPN using your selected region. If you want to stream Nosferatu on more than one device, it's possible you'll need to configure each one to ensure you're signed in. Go to settings and check your network connections to verify you're logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now you're ready to open Peacock to stream. 

If you run into issues with streaming, first make sure your VPN is up and running on its encrypted IP address. Double-check that you've followed installation instructions correctly and picked the right geographical area for viewing. If you still encounter connection problems, you may need to reboot your device. Close all apps and windows, restart your device and connect to your VPN first. Note that some streaming services will restrict VPN access.
