The shadow is long, the lease is bad, and Chud has concerns about finger clearance.
Why Did Nobody Check Nosferatu's Hands Before Renting To Him
Chud calls Nosferatu a renting problem and starts measuring the shadow fingers before anybody even gets bit.

Nosferatu is a famous scary movie about renting to a hand problem.
Editor says stay with the plot. I did try but the title kept doing stuff.
The vampire has a name, Orlok or Ore Lock or something with doors in it. People call him a monster. I call him a tenant with too much reach.
Before he bites anybody, he enters the paperwork system. That is where the town fails. If a man from a castle wants property and his fingers look like fence posts, you measure first. Very basic.
Nobody measures. They get excited about selling a house. This is why real estate needs a hand clause.
The movie has shadows crawling up walls. A normal shadow stays near your feet because it knows manners. His shadow climbs like it is looking for snacks on the top shelf. That is a warning. The lease should stop right there.
I also noticed he sleeps weird. Tenants can have hobbies, but if your hobby is coffin, collect extra deposit. I kept this in my notes twice, once spelled different.
People talk about plague and desire and all that dark poetry. Fine if you like college. Chud is asking practical questions. Can he open every cabinet without standing up. Does he scratch the paint. Does he count as one occupant or one occupant plus hands.
The wife is in danger because nobody in town says sir your fingers are in violation of the hallway.
Nosferatu is still scary because the man looks like he can reach across a room and turn off your lamp while you are still using it. That is not romance. That is utilities fraud.
My advice, final if possible: do not rent to anyone whose shadow needs its own address. Also check the hands. The hands always know first.
I am available to explain this to the director if they bring a chair.
