Horrors of the Battersea Funfair

from Viewpoints – Placecloud (English) · host Lauren Jane Barnett

London United Kingdom In the 1950s Battersea Park opened it's own Funfair, and once it did the horror filmmakers came running. Horror films - including "The Mutations" starring Donald Pleasance and "Gorgo" London's 1969 answer to Godzilla - used the bright lights of the funfair to contrast with dark stories, that is until the Battersea funfair had a real-life horror of its own.
