The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser



"I saw the ocean, and I saw a mountain and there were many people climbing up the mountain.
It was like a procession. There was a lot of fog. I couldn't see it very clearly, but at the very top was death."

Papa Lazarou



I would have posted a clip from the movie adaptation of the show but I thought it was pretty poor - which is often the case. If any of you haven't seen it yet, this clip is from a [fairly] recent classic television series from over here called 'The League of Gentlemen' featuring one of my favourite and scariest characters - Papa Lazarou, proprietor of The Pandemonium Carnival (a travelling freak show). Those of you with a penchant for Hammer Horror, The Wicker Man, freaks and British comedy should tune in when you get a chance.
