2. "Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" was an old timey spookey silent movie.

For some reason thinking about the "Bush" cabinet the image from that movie just came to me. Just an image.

Dr. Caligari was a hypnotist if I remember who had his victims in thrall, and would use his zombified victims to do his bidding. I think there was a certain young lady he kidnapped or something.
