Elmer McCurdy: From Outlaw to Morbid Sideshow Attraction

Elmer McCurdy’s story is both fascinating and tragic. His life and posthumous fame offer a mix of the Old West, crime, and morbid curiosity. His life was that of a minor outlaw who, due to a series of macabre events, achieved a form of postmortem fame far beyond his criminal activities. His story serves as a unique case study in the realms of criminal history, forensic science, and the ethics of death and entertainment. Join us as we introduce this wild-wild west outlaw, how he became a mummified sideshow attraction, and how he ended up as a prop in a popular California Funhouse.
