The Crawling Hand

Alan Hale: I’ve seen hundreds of kids just like him! The prisons are full of them!
Servo: Sal Mineo impersonators?

The kid in this movie—Paul, I think his name is—looks just like Sal Mineo, and has his Rebel Without a Cause-style acting down pat. Sal Mineo was a child/teenage star who, as an adult, never quite achieved the same level of success that he did when he was young. He was murdered in his car, or maybe it was by it, or maybe it was in a hotel room—you know how these things go. Police never found the killer. A little side note: Sal Mineo’s aunt married my great-grandfather. Yep. Sure, they were only married for a couple of years or so, but I think that grants me the right to call Sal Mineo “Uncle Sal”. And demand 50% of all his profits.
