Who Was that Masked Demon?

"And I'm not so crazy about the costume!"

--Fr. Everett,
Daredevil, 2003

If anyone remembers the blind troubled-Catholic comic book superhero Daredevil (featured in the dark yet enjoyably cheesy flop film of the same name), you won't help smiling at this unusual rescue staged at a Swedish amusement park...by a funhouse worker dressed as a demon. Unlike the film, though, there is no Greek ninja heroine with a preposterous name that sounds faintly like "electric natchos" nor a climactic fight scene entailing the wanton destruction of a pipe organ. Also, on the subject of devil costumes, Zadok suggests you check out the Corpus Christi celebrations in Venezuela, which have to rack up some POD points for sheer weirdness. Em, wanna throw some of those masked dudes into the next May Procession?
