St. Patrick. Drove the snakes out of Ireland, as opposed to driving the rats out of Hamelin.

Heckuva flick. Don't forget Strother Martin (he played in many of those spaghetti westerns). I still have bad dreams about King Cobras.

I always enjoyed his acting especially in the Westerns one minute he's sympathetic and the next he's down right mean, great actor.

i think the snake-man above was at the carnivals back in the days when the state fair still had the freak show  

i wanted to see them so bad... they were still around in the mid 70's but i never got to because my parents never payed for a ticket to let me go in to see them ..

i can't blame them though because it was 50 cents admission and they told me it was a rip-off 

 so i missed the last of the good carnival freaks like the lady who could pound a nail into her nose, the bearded lady.......and the two headed chicken ...

Best one was Cool Hand Luke as the "Captain".

"What we have is a failure to communicate." Classic line and it still lives on today.

You should check out The Mutations AKA The Freakmaker from 1974. Stars Donald Pleasence, a pre Dr Who Tom Baker in heavy freak makeup, and a number of real life circus freaks including Popeye.

Yes Foggy I have the set plus Monster World and all the one shot magazines and I even had an article published in issue 212. As for the covers they liked to reuse them on occasion.

I should note that the snake woman was played by Jacqueline Pierce in the movie "The Reptile" made by Hammer studios and the make-up was by Roy Ashton. Ms Pierce  would later find fame as Seralan on the BBC TV series Blakes 7 where she was far more apPEELing (sorry I should get skinned for that pun).

 

[tv horror]

Speaking of Roy Ashton there was a marvelous book published on his work for Hammer called Greasepaint and gore.

P.S You can't blame me for a great big mistake on the cover: I'll give you a clue it is Peter Cushing.

Yep, Cushing is shown in his old man Grimsdyke zombified makeup from Tales from the Crypt - which was an Amicus film, not Hammer.

I never met Mr Cushing although I would have loved too, he used to hold small tea parties for his fans every Tuesday in his home town of Whitstable, what a lovely man. I did write to him about his work and he replied with his usual little blessing and signed the bottom, I treasure it as it was personalised. Chris did you ever meet him? I'm a small soldier collector myself and I know we shared that passion so I mentioned it in the letter I sent as well as praising his film appearances.
