When you hear the term 'body snatchers'...

If you hear this term, what's your immediate mental response to it? Body snatchers as in the pod people who clone you and take over while you sleep, or body snatchers as in resurrectionists like Burke and Hare who dug up corpses to sell, and then later on supplied their own?

Since there is some confusion over the titles of the movies and the books which are all about the same but with completely different meanings, I tend to think of both of them at the same time when I hear it.

I always thought body snatchers were people who steal corpses.

The latter definition that doesn't involve creatures from outer space.
