Welcome to Schlitzie’s Emporium, named after Simon “Schlitzie” Metz, star of the 1932 Tod Browning masterpiece Freaks. My name is Andrew Hunt. I am a U.S. History professor, movie buff, proud dad, vegan and hardboiled mystery novel lover who’s obsessed with Los Angeles, UFOs, the late 1920s and early 1930s, ghosts, tofu and American pop culture. I hope you enjoy Schlitzie’s Emporium, my little spot on the Information Superhighway to post ‘n’ prattle about Pop Culture. Questions? Email me! andrewehunt@aol.com
