Monster-of-the-Week: …let’s give the nod to Quintillius Aurelis, title character of 1958’s Curse of the Faceless Man. His moniker doesn’t refer to cipher-like anonymity; the poor fellow literally has no face…
He’s a petrified gladiator found in the ruins of the town regrettably at the foot of Vesuvius, but the petrifaction doesn’t extend to his libido. As the poster says: “ENTOMBED FOR EONS…TURNED TO STONE…SEEKING WOMEN—WOMEN—WOMEN!”
Well, after all, 79 A.D. to 1958 is a pretty long time between, you know, eruptions…
Oh Mark, Really? Eruptions, really? Left me shaking my head and laughing out loud.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear, Don--those reactions are exactly what I was going for.
