Tikisoo Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Just heard a report on NPR that Murneau's grave has been disturbed. The report started with backstory on the movie Nosferatu, then that Murneau's casket had been robbed. I found this article in Variety: http://variety.com/2015/film/news/f-w-murnau-head-stolen-nosferatu-dracula-1201540223/ So sad, so disrespectful, so self centered an act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiatone Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 just a bone. Are you referring to the thief's ENTIRE HEAD, or Mr. Murneau's skull? Sepiatone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NipkowDisc Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Are you referring to the thief's ENTIRE HEAD, or Mr. Murneau's skull? Sepiatone just murneau's skull. his entire head woulda decomposed by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 just murneau's skull. his entire head woulda decomposed by now. AKK. It was the THIEF'S "entire skull" I wondered that you were referring to as "just a bone". Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 TikoSoo, while I agree with you that this was sad and disrespectful, I must admit I laughed when I saw this thread title. I dunno, it just sounds funny. I think it's as much that it's F.W.Murneau's skull - "Whaaat? Does someone want to "channel" Murneau from beyond the grave to make some new silent movie or something?" - as much as anything. The whole thing just seems so random and strange. The capacity for weirdness in human beings never fails to amaze me. edit: at first I could not find the Variety article you cited, but when I did, I read it and saw that the investigators think the motivation may have been some sort of witch's cult. Something straight out of a movie the great director himself might have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiatone Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Who doesn't love those goofy Goths? THERE'S another thought Dark! Some stoner guitarist in a "Cookie Monster vocals" death metal band took it to set on top of his AMP! Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
