He's a famous entertainer on the Deep Sea Circuit, caught doing one of his most popular impressions:
"If you are not feeling well, if you have not slept, chocolate will revive you. But you have no chocolate! I think of that again and again! My dear, how will you ever manage?"

Yes, we have Nosferatu.
We have Nosferatu today.

But IMHO, they should have gotten a vampire squid to play the part.

I thought it might be for catching plankton, but another poster at Pharyngula said it was to scare off predators.

Yes, indeed.  Those squid are flying.  Incredibly, those are called "flying squid".
