Imagine, if you will, a silent grave yard on a dark night. A body hunched over a freshly opened grave, surrounded by lit candles. The villain breaking through into a casket and sneaking off in the night with the skull underneath their arm. It sounds like a scene out of a horror movie doesn’t it? For the family of director F.W.
