"Can your heart stand the shocking facts about Graverobbers from Outer Space?" That's the question on the lips of the narrator of this tale about flying saucers, zombies and cardboard tombstones. A pair of aliens, angered by the "stupid minds" of planet Earth, set up shop in a California cemetery. Their plan: to animate an army of the dead to march on the capitals of the world. (The fact that they have only managed to resurrect three zombies to date has not discouraged them.) An intrepid airline pilot living near the cemetery must rescue his wife from this low-budget terror.

Quite possibly the most terrifying film ever made, Murnau?s Nosferatu continues to influence filmmakers today. Originally released in 1922, and based on Bram Stoker?s Dracula (character names were changed in a failed attempt to escape copyright issues), the story was a natural for the surreal, haunting world of Expressionism and its themes of death and madness, shadow and light. With his bald pate, rat-like visage and long, bony fingers, Nosferatu?s Count Orlac (Max Schreck) is a monstrous parasite sustained by the blood of the living.
