This felicitous Halloween pic is a treat not only for ticklephiles but for horror film buffs, too! <br>The green-pussed, ram's-horned beauty wielding the feathers is scream queen Barbara Steele, as seen, I believe, in CURSE OF THE CRIMSON ALTAR, a late-60s Brit horror probably best known for being the production that gave elderly Boris Karloff a fatal cold. Anyway, Babs was once described by one critic as the only actress with eyes that snarled. <br>The grinning underarm teaser is, I'ma guessin', the legendary Conrad Veidt from the silent German classic THE MAN WHO LAUGHS. (And why shouldn't he be, with such a lovely, ticklish victim so helpless before him?) Veidt's prob best known by us Yanks for his final role as Gestapo Major Strasser in CASABLANCA. I'm sure that if that classic had run a little longer, he'd gotten his hands on Ingrid Bergman and she'd have soon laughingly sold out Bogart and Henreid...<br>
Hey! This is fun! Now the real challenge is naming the hilarious dame in the middle! Oh, Google...
