Sorry, can we take a moment to look at Stan Laurel's face on that poster again?

| This is the face of a man who hears nothing but the screaming of the tormented. |
What is this monster? That's not a cheeky caricature of the better half of a classic comedy duo, that's someone who's seen more horrors than you could even imagine. This person is so damaged that their face is permanently frozen in a blank, unblinking stare that barely hides the broken mind tearing itself apart underneath. Never before has an image so perfectly captured a person completely broken by exposure to a lifetime of unfathomable terror.
