Inspector Dan Clay as portrayed by Tor Johnson in Edward D. Wood Jr.'s classic "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
My first memory of Tor is one of absolute sheer terror. It seems silly now having seen Mr. Johnson's work, that he could actually instill genuine terror, but that's the way it happened.
When I was a kid my parents took me to the annual Jackson, MI. Jaycees Haunted House. There were the usual array of fake teethed vampires and chain rattling ghosts... But then, there was this guy in a green trench coat with two Tor Johnson heads lumbering towards me, and I don't know why, but it just totally freaked me out. My Dad says that it is the only time he has ever actually watched a human being do the Road Runner move, the one where your legs are moving but you aren't going anywhere, and that I drew blood scratching him while climbing up him for protection.
I recently found out that Tor Johnson died the exact same day my wife was born, and I am now under the belief that my wife is the reincarnation of Tor...
Between you and me it would explain a lot.
