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.

He was buried in Stahnsdorf, just outside of Berlin. Early Tuesday morning someone violated what was meant to be Murnau’s final resting place in his family’s burial plot.
