Fritz Lang's Kriemhild's Revenge (1924) and Orson Welles's Touch of Evil (1958)

this one's a more direct comparison between Welles and German Expressionism - we have a shot from Fritz Lang's Kriemhild's Revenge (1924) and Orson Welles's Touch of Evil (1958) - both shots superimpose a character over a horned beast in overt symbolic connotations (on the top, that's Attila the Hun, behind some monster statue, the horns aren't coming out of his head...)
