You’d think if they knew he was an actual corpse they’d not sell him like that. Crazy but at least he’s finally at peace
This was still within living memory of when slavery was still practiced.
@@Thoralmirthat is true the whole thing just seems bizarre
I’m amazed they were able to track down who the body was after all those years.
They probably linked it by the group who fought him and reported his death, the place where the autopsy was performed, etc
Those showmen and carnival folk sure did drain as much money out of old Elmer's mummy as they could.
They were shameless.
How in the hell did that corpse not stank up every facility it was stored in???
Heard kids always complained about the smell in the area the corpse was in
The fact that I remember hearing this on the news i think is what makes me feel uneasy about this whole story. Now knowing about this today is even more unnerving to me.
man he made it though two movies only to be discovered on the third. crazy!
he lived a wild life while breathing and an even crazier life while dead? lol.
Thanks for reminding me I need to finish watching The Kid.
I think this story makes a very compelling argument that there's no such thing as ghosts. 66 years without burial, and corpse used as a side show prop? If ghosts weer real, surely he would have come back as a vengeful spirit.
What a life! What a death!☠️
What. The. Fuck. 😱😱😱

They used this story as inspiration for Jack the Clown at Halloween Horror Nights.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing that.
@ZGHistory Story goes that after his boss, Dr. Oddfellow (this year's icon btw) murdered Jack after the clown's child-killing antics drew attention from the FBI, Jack's corpse was stuffed in an oversized jack-in-the-box prop and hidden in a dark ride.
Years after Oddfellow sold off the attraction, a BBC crew found it in a Louisiana junkyard while filming a documentary on American dark rides. They found the box, and after fiddling with a crank on the side, Jack the Clown's body popped our of the top on a giant spring to the tune of "pop goes the weasel."
The truck carrying his corpse crashed into the bayou, and later, every member of the film crew was found gruesomely murdered.
Given that Universal produced the Six Million Dollar Man and were involved in the discovery of Elmer McCurdy, it seems that Universal drew upon their own history for their most beloved Halloween icon.
Like I always say, all the best horror movies are based on real events.
