Jim has tatoos?
I was imagining his performances in here to be the equivalent of
James Mitchum's creepy "preacher" in an old, scary black-and-white
film released in the 1950s.
Robert Mitchum. 1954. Night of the Hunter from the novel by Davis Grubb.
The author was from up the road in Moundsville. The story is set in
this area.
Hmmmm...that explains a lot about Davie Heil's character...:-)
How so? Neither Robert Mitchum nor the character he played came from
this area. I wasn't in the movie.
That character had L-O-V-E on one
hand, H-A-T-E on the other...liked to off folks that didn't
believe in him.
Believing in him had nothing to do with it. He killed prostitutes and
dancers because he thought they were evil and he killed widows for their
money. The guy wasn't even a real preacher.
I am imagining Davie Heil with C-O-D-E on one hand, T-E-S-T on
the other. :-)
Do yours read "NOCW" and "TEST"?
Running around killing the NCTA because he thinks they were evil.
Sounds VERY familiar! :-)
It might to you, but then again, you got the original story wrong too.
The book's author, Davis Grubb had a hard time with reality. In one
interview, he said that he could remember that whenever an execution
took place at the prison in Moundsville, the lights all over town would
dim. That would have been something since, when Grubb was living in
Moundsville, executions were by hanging. Electrocution wasn't begun
until the 1950's.
Did they ever catch him, or is he still running around the hills of
Moundsville?
Was he a ham preacher?
He is apparently of the undead, this time inhabiting the corpus
of a corpulent K8 ham?
You've really not watched the movie in some time. Another of Grubb's
books was turned into a movie called "Fool's Parade" with James Stewart,
George Kennedy and Kurt Russell. It was shot on location in Moundsville
and Marshall County in 1970. You'd have been a natural "Fool's Parade"
extra.
"Corp diem?"
"Corpus"
Don't you get anything right?
