WTF FWMurnau's head?
 
Uh-oh...

While Greece is being bludgeoned by its neighbors, while another attack's been prevented on the French soil, and so on and so forth...
Somebody stole Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's skull...

Reminds me of HPLovecraft's Charles Dexter Ward experimentations...
His death, in 1931, due to a car accident, was linked by some to the belief that he had offended the divine while shooting his latest film Tabu.

Sunrise ain't a horror movie, it's a beautiful one...

OBVIOUSLY, it was Count Orloff. Out of spite, of course, for the inaccurate portrayal.

Now if we could figure out who stole the head of Pancho Villa...

I could actually see this story tranlate quite well into a film in the style of German Expressionism. Nonetheless: Whoever did it, that was a dick move.

I did not know that... The perpetrators had to wait 3 years to piss PV's supporters and family.
80 years, for Murnau...
Well, then, your Orloff hunch might be spot on...

I'd say the dick move would have been for David Carradine. Just my opinion.
Lovely signature by the way.
