Thats just wrong...

Actually the decor of this house actually resembled the house I grew up in.

As far as the Sinister Bellhop goes, google up "Johnny Roventini" for everything you'll ever want to know about one of the most beloved advertising figures of the Era. He was well past 30 years old when this particular ad ran.

Bartender Note

I've edited this thread a bit.

Debating smoking is rather like politics - this isn't the spot for it.

Also: The Bartenders will do the chewing out around here.


Now, back to scary curtain climbers. :)

I remember seeing that ad as a child and being fascinated that he had his bum out lol

This little guy isn't very creepy, but I like his tie:

I put this one up on my LJ a while back as part of a group of truly surreal postcards a friend and I found while sorting through her father-in-law's collection.

But who thought giving bloated babies hammers to hatch out chicks was a good idea? How the poor little things run in terror...
