EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print from 1971, we see the superstitious stuntman Eddie Merton in a rather morbid and creepy setting. Known for his extreme superstitions, Merton always slept in a coffin on the night before a dangerous stunt. Here he is captured sitting up in the coffin in his hotel bedroom, enjoying his morning cup of tea.
The image is both fascinating and unsettling, as Merton appears completely at ease in such an eerie environment. His superstition seems to have taken over every aspect of his life, even down to where he rests his head at night.
Despite the macabre nature of his sleeping arrangements, there is something oddly captivating about Merton's dedication to his beliefs. The juxtaposition of the cozy hotel room with the presence of a coffin creates a sense of unease that draws viewers in.
As we look at this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the lengths some people will go to for luck and protection. Eddie Merton may have been an unconventional figure, but there is no denying that he left a lasting impression on those who witnessed his unique rituals.
