They saw their chance and they fucking took it

Kings the lot of em

Johnny Eck was a performer from the 1930s who was born without any legs:

He's primarily known for appearing in the 1932 cult classic Freaks directed by Tod Browning.

However what I'm mostly obsessed with is this account of a magic trick he did with his non-disabled twin brother (text under the cut)

Like this is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Can you imagine

Wikipedia screenshot:

"In 1937, Eck and Robert were recruited by the illusionist and hypnotist Rajah Raboid, for his "Miracles of 1937" show. In it they performed a magic feat that amazed audiences. Raboid performed the traditional sawing-a-man-in-half illusion, except with an unexpected twist. At first Robert would pretend to be a member of the audience and heckle the illusionist during his routine, resulting in Robert being called on stage to be sawed in half himself. During the illusion, Robert would then be switched with his twin brother Eck, who played the top half of his body, and a dwarf who played the bottom half, concealed in specially-built pant legs. After seeming to have been sawn off, the legs would suddenly get up and start running away, prompting Eck to jump off the table and start chasing them around the stage, screaming, "Come back!" "I want my legs back!" Sometimes he even chased the legs into the audience. The subsequent reaction was amazing – people would scream and sometimes even flee the theater in terror. As Eck described it, "The men were more frightened than the women – the women couldn't move because the men were walking across their laps, headed for the exit." The act provided the perfect jolt by frightening people at first but then caused just as much laughter and applause. The illusion would end with stage hands plucking up Eck and setting him atop "his" legs and then twirling him off-stage to be replaced by his twin Robert, who would then loudly threaten to sue Raboid and storm out of the theater. Their act was so popular that they played to packed audiences up and down the East Coast."

Add this one to this list of times Dan talks about how something for one of them is actually something for Both Of Them™

“Bring me a gift”

“Phil can’t have chocolate”

The implication that every gift Dan gets needs to also be for Phil is insane I love this unhinged codependent ass bitch

Still need to watch the last of these, but it slipped my mind for a bit. In the meantime, however, please enjoy something that would fit right in with the rest:

The Curse of Dracula has both Lee and Cushing, and Dracula dies in yet another frankly embarrassing way (killed by a 5-year-old). It's brilliant!

with dracula daily in full swing and the arrival of spoopy season, i thought i might spend my bedridden day collecting links for all to enjoy the entire hammer horror dracula canon. feel free to check out my pinned for my personal thoughts on watch order, etc.

starred movies i particularly recommend as they follow a timeline, with unstarred movies mostly being extraneous/filler (yet amusing nonetheless).

⭐️horror of dracula

⭐️ brides of dracula

dracula: prince of darkness

dracula has risen from the grave

taste the blood of dracula

scars of dracula

⭐️ dracula a.d. 1972

⭐️ the satanic rites of dracula

legend of the seven golden vampires

happy watching!
