**archyde:** Nicholas, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. You recently revealed a rather unique keepsake from the set of *Nosferatu* – a prosthetic penis belonging to your co-star, Bill Skarsgård. Could you tell us a little about the context of this unusual gift?
**Nicholas Hoult:** [Laughter] Well, it was a parting gift from Robert Eggers, our director. I think it was meant to be a bit of a humorous memento of the intense experience we all shared on set.
**Archyde:** And where exactly is this… memento… residing these days?
**Nicholas Hoult:** Its actually framed and hanging up at home.
**Archyde:** That’s certainly one way to remember your time working on *nosferatu*! What do you think this says about the atmosphere and camaraderie on set?
**Nicholas Hoult:** I think it shows the unique bond that can form between cast and crew during a demanding project like this. There’s a lot of pressure and intensity on set, but there’s also a lot of laughter and absurdity.
**Archyde:** Do you think this kind of camaraderie is essential to creating a accomplished horror film? What role do you think humor plays in this genre?
