=== Cultural references === Bauhaus's fanbase extends beyond music; the American novelist [[Chuck Palahniuk]] was influenced by the Bauhaus song "Bela Lugosi's Dead" when writing his 2005 novel ''[[Haunted (Palahniuk novel)|Haunted]]''.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Douglas Keesey|title=Understanding Chuck Palahniuk|date=2016|publisher=Univ of South Carolina Press|isbn=9781611176988|quote=It is not only these literary traditions that have informed and inspired Palahniuk's fiction; there are significant cinematic and musical influences as well. ... When it comes to music, Palahniuk has said that 'the punk esthetic shaped my work: Start loud, run short, end abruptly.' 93 Punk, industrial rock, and other edgy, confrontational styles tend to be the major influences.... ....To get into the right mood to create his damaged and sometimes dangerous characters, Palahniuk will often listen to the same song on repeat while he is writing. These have included Radiohead's 'Creep' for Choke, Depeche Mode's 'Little 15' for Diary, and Bauhaus's 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' for Haunted.}}</ref> In [[James O'Barr]]'s 1989 comic book ''[[The Crow]]'', the facial features of [[Eric Draven]] were based on those of Peter Murphy.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Mythology |year=2008 |publisher=[[Penguin Books]] |isbn=9781436268103 |page=287 |last1=Smith |first1=Evans |last2=Brown |first2=Nathan |chapter=22: Comparative Mythology in Pop Culture |quote=The physical appearance of Eric Draven was based heavily on the face of Peter Murphy of the band Bauhaus, who O'Barr also saw while in Germany, and the body of rock icon Iggy Pop.}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=The Dark Age |year=2006 |publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing |isbn=9781893905535 |page=51 |last=Voger |first=Mark |chapter=As the Crow Flies |quote=Q: How did the Crow character of Eric come to you? O'Barr: Basically, I was just playing around with the makeup on the face. I was in England. On the side of a building was painted the three faces of the English theater, which were Pain, Irony and Despair. The smiling face was Irony. So that's basically where the makeup came from. Physically, Eric is kind of a mixture of Iggy Pop and Peter Murphy.}}</ref> In [[Neil Gaiman]]'s series ''[[The Sandman (Vertigo)|The Sandman]]'', [[Dream (comics)|Dream]]'s face and appearance were also based on Murphy.<ref>{{cite book |title=The collected Sandman covers, 1989β1997 |year=1997 |publisher=Watson-Guptill |isbn=9780823046324 |last1=McKean |first1=Dave |last2=Gaiman |first2=Neil |author2-link=Neil Gaiman |page=1 |quote=The Sandman image was inspired by Peter Murphy, the ex-Bauhaus singer and Maxell tape model, because when artist Mike Dringenberg saw the original sketches for the character he said "He looks like Peter Murphy from Bauhaus."}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Hanging Out with the Dream King: Conversations with Neil Gaiman and His Collaborators |year=2004 |publisher=Fantagraphics |isbn=9781560976172 |others=Quach, Sophia (photographer) |editor-last=McCabe |editor-first=Joseph |page=92 |quote=['Sandman' artist Kelly Jones talks about the inspiration behind Dream's appearance] I know Neil always said [the Sandman] was based on Robert Smith of the Cure, but I just hated the Cure. I didn't want to hear that. I was really into Peter Murphy at that time, the guy from Bauhaus. I didn't like Bauhaus, but I liked him on his own, and he had a song called "Cut You Up" or something; it was on the radio at the time. I bought the CD, and I said, 'You know, with that big poufy hair, he looks like that guy.' At that time, Murphy was very gestural. I don't think the guy ever had a picture taken of him that wasn't angled and in deep lighting. So I took that, too. I said, 'Whenever I do him, I'm gonna do that kind of thing. And get into his face, don't just keep him in deep shadow all the time. He will be in deep shadow all the time, but I want to put across a guy who's clueless. Not stupid, but he's not understanding things.' Because he's an immortal guy who...}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/43239675523/would-it-be-inaccurate-to-assume-that-morpheus-was-an |title=The Official Neil Gaiman Tumblr |date=16 February 2013 |website=[[Tumblr]] |last=Gaiman |first=Neil |author-link=Neil Gaiman |quote=The original idea-model for Morpheus was Peter Murphy from Bauhaus. |access-date=10 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110004721/http://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/43239675523/would-it-be-inaccurate-to-assume-that-morpheus-was-an |archive-date=10 November 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Neil Gaiman β FAQ β Comics |url=http://www.neilgaiman.com/p/FAQs/Comics |last=Gaiman |first=Neil |author-link=Neil Gaiman |quote=If I remember correctly Dave based the face on the cover of Sandman #1 on an image of Peter Murphy. |access-date=22 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120922100406/http://neilgaiman.com/p/FAQs/Comics |archive-date=22 September 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Goth Chic: A Connoisseur's Guide to Dark Culture |year=2006 |publisher=Plexus |isbn=9780859653824 |edition=2nd |last1=Baddeley |first1=Gavin |last2=Woods |first2=Paul A. |editor-last=Woods |editor-first=Paul A. |page=1941 |quote=Sandman inker Mike Dringenberg observed, '"Hey, [he] looks like Peter Murphy from Bauhaus.'"
