According to Yahoo news, Grave
robbers have stolen from a crypt the head of German expressionist cinema great
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, director of the silent-film vampire classic
“Nosferatu.”
Police did not rule out an
occultist motive after finding candle wax in the family crypt in Stahnsdorf
southwest of Berlin and were investigating the case on charges of theft and
disturbing the peace of the dead.
One or more grave robbers
opened the metal coffin before decapitating the director’s embalmed body but
did not disturb the remains of his two brothers, reported Bild daily and
national news agency DPA.
Born in 1888, Murnau is
best known for his 1922 silent movie classic “Nosferatu — A Symphony of
Horror”, which Hollywood magazine Variety wrote is “recognised as one of the
scariest horror movies of all time”.
Murnau later moved to
Hollywood where he directed “Sunrise”, which won several Academy Awards. He
died in a 1931 car crash near Santa Barbara, California, and his body was repatriated
to his native Germany.
