Description

Nightmare Street starts by having an remarkable explanation of the freak-show abject and geek—alcoholic and the item of the voyeuristic crowd’s gleeful dislike and derision—going about his work on a state fair. Youthful Stan Carlisle is operating like a carny, and he wonders what sort of guy might drop so low. There’s no way in heck, he vows, that something like that can ever occur to him.And since Stan is bold and intelligent and not with out a streak of ruthlessness, quickly enough he’s planning locations. Onstage he performs the mentalist with a sweet bimbo (in a short time his harried wife), then he students to full-blown spiritualist, catering for the requirements of the wealthy and naive within their well-padded houses.
