Why It Crackles

Show Details

Black comedies don’t come any darker than a story featuring a vigilante with an electric chair.

-Leading man Rod Steiger appeared in over 100 films during his career including In the Heat of the Night, Waterloo, On the Waterfront, and Doctor Zhivago to name a few. Over his career he won 22 awards, an Oscar, and was nominated another 12 times. Wow and wow.

-Pre roller-girl and Austin Power days Heather Graham was fired from 1991 film Scorchers after director said she was wasting his time. Bet that guy feels like an idiot now.

-The electric chair was first used in 1890. It was used by more than 25 states throughout the 20th century, acquiring nicknames such as Sizzlin' Sally, Old Smokey, Old Sparky, Yellow Mama, and Gruesome Gertie.
