California has the infamous escape from Alcatraz&nbsp;and the unidentified Zodiac Killer of&nbsp;the late &#39;60s. Ted Bundy terrorized women in the Pacific Northwest in the &#39;70s.&nbsp;Florida even boasts a tale of spontaneous human combustion in the &#39;50s. Just like all of the other states in the US, Oklahoma, too, has its own unsavory secrets.&nbsp;

What many people don&#39;t realize is just how many disturbing <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/cases-solved-by-unsolved-mysteries/patrick-thornton?ref=profile_pub" target="_blank">unsolved crimes</a>&nbsp;have taken place&nbsp;in Oklahoma.

Of the many important films to come out of the 20th century, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/titicut-follies-documentary-film-madhouse-shocking-banned/">Titicut Follies</a> by Frederick Wiseman is perhaps one of the most pivotal, though few have heard of it. A brutally honest deep dive into the treatment of patients at a state-run mental hospital for people who were deemed criminally insane, this documentary caused shockwaves when it was first released. Spurring dozens of lengthy court battles and causing public outcry, Wiseman's documentary has left a legacy that has influenced the lives of patients in mental facilities, as well as works of media focused on mental health.

From drug mishaps to tying down dog tails, King’s stories can certainly demand a lot of out a cast and crew.With at least <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-of-worst-stephen-king-movies/jacob-shelton">86 movies based on King’s novels</a>, there have been plenty of opportunities over the years for some surprising and questionable things to occur, either during production or even after. Some stories even involve the King of horror himself.

Sociological standards have changed a lot since the days of Neil Diamond and The Doors, though. Elvis Presley&nbsp;fell in love with Priscilla&nbsp;Beaulieu when she was just 14-years-old, for example. Sure, it was definitely controversial back in the day&nbsp;but courting a minor didn't&nbsp;ruin&nbsp;his career.Some of these&nbsp;rock songs are more stomach-churning than others, and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/list/fun-songs-with-secret-dark-meanings/jessica-defino">some are just plain surprising</a>. The Beatles were in their early 20s when they wrote “I Saw Her Standing There.” That song is&nbsp;about being in love with a 17-year-old girl. And Gene Simmons was almost 30 when he sang "Christine Sixteen." Despite the controversy surrounding a much older man obsessing about a much younger school girl (16-years-old), the song hit number&nbsp;25 on the Billboard Hot 100, even though many radio stations refused to play the track.Keep reading to see which voyeuristic songs were somehow socially acceptable.

For many, spending $40,000 on elective cosmetic surgery is an absurdly exorbitant price tag, but Marvel fans are a different breed of human. For some hardcore fans who take cosplay to otherworldly levels,&nbsp;it&#39;s business as usual. This was the case for Henry (Rodriguez) Damon, whose extreme body modification transformed him into the Marvel supervillain, Red Skull.

The world of extreme body modification is one that many people don&#39;t understand, but those who partake in the controversial practice turn heads for better or worse. Some choose to snip their ears for perfect <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/extreme-body-modification-elfkin/hugh-landman" target="_blank">Lord of the Rings</a><a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/extreme-body-modification-elfkin/hugh-landman" target="_blank"> elf-approved features</a>, and others strive to look <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/satanic-body-modification-stories/trilby-beresford" target="_blank">as demonic as possible</a>. Their reasons are always different, but they&#39;re usually rooted in self-expression.

Overall, people who want to look like fictional characters are nothing new; the world is filled with young girls who&#39;d do just about anything to look like Disney princesses. But it&#39;s not every day that someone is so enamored by the likes of an evil Nazi that they cut off their nose to achieve the character&#39;s facial structure. So, why did Henry Damon do it? Here&#39;s a look inside the mind of a living, breathing Marvel supervillain, who also happens to be a doting father.

An author as popular and prolific as Stephen King is bound to have not just numerous films and shows adapted from his works, but remakes, sequels, and spinoffs of those original adaptations, too. As a result, plenty of King characters have spiritual doubles running around in the cinematic and TV ether, and we're here to compare some of our favorites.&nbsp;Often times, no one can beat these characters' original performances. But in the world of Hollywood, where remakes are inevitable, the least filmmakers can do is find the best replacements possible. That said, vote up the characters who got the most acceptable re-castings, and vote down the ones where there were definitely better choices out there.
