With your expectations firmly set to "silent film era," Nosferatu is very entertaining and goes by remarkably quick. What helps is there's so much to look at in nearly every frame, you're rarely bored visually.
The other good silent horror film I'd pair it with is Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages.
