00:05 - Follow me down.
00:09 I've got something to show you.
00:12 I don't know where to even begin with this story.

00:21 When my grandpa passed away,
00:25 we went to his house and started clearing out his possessions
00:28 and one of my aunts found a videotape.
00:31 Have you got your video set up?
00:34 I'm ready to play you some lovely pictures.
00:38 Hi there.
00:39 - Charles Carson, two men farm.
00:46 - This farmer, Charles Carson,
00:48 a neighbor of my grandparents,
00:50 made this feature length home movie.
00:53 - Hey, what are you doing here?
00:55 - It is a truly special work of art.
00:57 I know that he did take
00:59 sort of quite bizarre photographs of things,
01:02 like Monty Python, really, when you think about it.
01:06 - It is a little bit reminiscent
01:08 of the serial killer, Ed Gein.
01:10 - I can't tell if this guy is a genius or a psychopath.
01:13 - It's not just exactly how I remember it as a kid,
01:18 it's even more insane.
01:20 - Come on, help me come.
01:22 Here we go.
01:22 So all I can say is go away to the shops,
01:27 buy yourself some beef.
01:28 - He's starting to show us a lot of very weird,
01:32 rather macabre, dark pictures.
01:35 - It looks like a worm.
01:36 - And you have a jolly good look and a placenta.
01:39 - You'll go down in history.
01:43 - There's more to it.
01:48 I kept watching, I couldn't believe what I'd seen.
01:52 - I mean, it is a twister.
01:53 - Yeah, it totally is.
01:54 I was not expecting that at all.
01:56 - Oh, it's marvellous, isn't it?
