Martin is  a troubled boy Tata Cuda a distinguished older gentleman picks him up in Pittsburgh and they board another train for his home where he intends to save Martin's soul and then destroy him, but the magic of Christianity has no effect on Martin. Damn these phones in horror movies anyway. In this one you can dial while another one's off the hook. Phone? Martin settles in working for Cuda as a delivery boy, where he seems a bit uncomfortable around the customers. No wonder he's a bit uncomfortable around people, since his birth, his family has been convinced that he is Nosferatu, a curse that runs in the family, the family shame.  Troubles with women false perceptions.</B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
