What was Longlegs diagnosis?
Besides being a great singer?
shareThe black community deem him, Longlegs, Mr Downstairs, a "typical white guy" a cracker!
shareLonglegs type characters are common in the mountains of Appalachia, the Midwest and along the border of the great white north. New Yorkers, Californians, Texans and Floridians dare not enter those regions. Very white, shut off, dilapidated, meth, the colored people roll up their windows when passing through.
It's like entering The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, Wrong Turn... it's frightening. One minute you are in the city then the next you're in a meth den rinky dink town that hasn't saw infrastructure development since 1973, the inhabitants trace their lineages back since the first days of the USA. They came over from Europe, settled in the middle of no where and never left. They live a stone throw from where their forebears set up shop. They breed amongst each other with no influx from outsiders.

shareThese areas are the true life inspiration for the mutant cannibal white people in the middle of nowhere USA sub-genre of horror. It's a uniquely white American phenomenon. It's fascinating and horrifying.
Hillbillies they call them. The gangbangers and cartels in urban USA cities are shit scared of them and dare not set foot in hillbilly territory.
