The carnival
midway has a long and sordid past. It’s hard to imagine in this day and age
that human beings who were born with physical deformities were exploited for
the sake of entertainment. But by most accounts many of these so-called
freaks and geeks of the midway enjoyed their fame; preferring to work and
entertain rather than suffer a worse fate of living out there lives in a
hospital or asylum. And from the folklore of Haiti comes the living dead,
more commonly known by the term ghoul or zombie. This hideous creature
feasts on the flesh of the living but owes its popularity among monster
movie fans to the work of George Romero and Lucio Fulci! |
