QUESTION: Was 'the Kurgan', the bad guy in the film Highlander, based on a real person? The Kurgan from the movie Highlander wasn't based on a specific person but on a real-life people: the Kurgans, an ancient nomadic people from the Pontic-Caspian steppe (parts of modern Ukraine, southern Russia and Kazakhstan). They were named after their burial mounds (kurgans), which were constructed over a grave. Marija Gimbutas, a Lithuanian-American archaeologist, identified a Kurgan culture in 1956.

QUESTION Was the word Nosferatu invented for the film? The term predates the film and was used in Western literature to refer to vampires. Bram Stoker used it in Dracula (1897) and this was the basis for F. W. Murnau’s film. Stoker himself had borrowed it from Emily Gerard’s 1885 article Transylvanian Superstitions, which was later incorporated into her 1888 book The Land Beyond The Forest. Gerard, from Airdrie in Scotland, wrote her book after spending two years in Romania.
