Unfortunately the most enduring image from my 1975 viewing is that awful goblin child from The Day of the Locust.

LOL. Truly haunting creation, that child.

You may already be aware that the goblin child grew up to be Oscar nominee, Jackie Earle Haley.

[Lonnie]

Yes, it was quite the surprise when reading the credits. His manic prancing certainly prepared him to play Kelly Leak.
