'Nosferatu' Director F.W. Murnau's Head Stolen From His Grave In Germany

Source: Huffington Post



The head of "Nosferatu" director Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, better known as F.W. Murnau, has been stolen from his grave in Germany, possibly as part of an occult ritual, according to reports.

Damage to the gravesite was discovered on Monday, and Murnau's skull was missing from his iron coffin, which sits in a chamber below a marker for the filmmaker and his two brothers at the Stahnsdorf South-Western Cemetery, about 12 miles from Berlin.

Wax drippings found at the scene have led to speculation in the German media that occultists may have taken the head.

“There was a candle ... a photo session or a celebration or whatever in the night. It really isn’t clear,” cemetery manager Olaf Ihlefeldt told the Washington Post.

Stupid goths! Hope they get caught.

BTW, Nosferatu is good, but this is his real masterpiece:

His early death was such a loss. the Last Laugh is also a great one. We can only wonder what he would have done if he had lived another couple of decades.
