Pre-Fall '66 PID themes and other foreshadowings.From the film A Hard Day's Night The very next scene after this line is where they rehearse ‘I'm Happy Just To Dance with You’. The next scene after that is when Ringo & Grandpa are in the diner. The book Ringo reads in the diner is The 1959 film adaptation of Anatomy of a Murder starrs James Stewart as Paul Biegler. His best friend in the film is named Parnell McCarthy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_a_MurderThe artwork for the book cover was done by Saul Bass. In the Bible, Saul becomes Paul Bass bass guitar Penguin ClassicsAlso, when Ringo tells Grandpa that you can learn a lot from books, Grandpa replies, "Ah, sheeps' heads." implying sheep, shepherd, shears. And beheading. He could've said anything there... Then this is the very next scene When Paul's Grandfather tries to cause trouble at the tv studio, the director says this, while the camera cuts to Paul as he frowns and shakes his head. How 'bout that for "nothing is real". (by that I mean, the Strawberry Fields Forever video that cuts to Paul every time John sings "Nothing is real.")Immediately afterwards, Grandpa accidentally kills a magician's dove. The magician crosses out the 10 doves on his sign, and writes a 9. Grandpa holding an LP by George Shearing - (shears) In the beginning of the film, Paul is set apart from the other three and is wearing a fake moustache and goatee.

In April of 1964, The Beatles performed a skit from Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night dream on British tv. In it, Paul plays Pyramus and kills himself. Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOpEZM6OEvIHere he draws his knife and exclaims, "Thus I die!" Paul then lies on the ground, and as the camera does a close-up on him, he says, " Now I am dead, now I am fled. Ah well, ya can't win 'em all." He then repeatedly stabs himself in the heart while shouting, "Now die, die, die, die!" over and over. John, who was playing the role of Thisbe, has his left-front tooth blackened out. The same tooth Paul chipped the following year. When Thisbe finds Pyramus dead, she then proceeds to stab herself in the heart and join him in death. (In ’67 or ‘68, McCartney adopted a cat and named it Thisbe). The skit The Beatles performed from A Midsummer’s Night Dream, was a part in the play where traveling actors perform the skit of Pyramus and Thisbe. In the play Rosencrants and Guildenstern Are Dead, which is a spin-off of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, there is a traveling troupe of actors that perform skits. In Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (premiered Aug ’66), the audience is not quite sure which one is Rosencrantz and which one is Guildenstern, neither are the other characters in the play, and it seems even Rosencrantz and Guildenstern may not be sure. These two characters must try to figure out what has happened to their friend Prince Hamlet, who "has changed, inside and out." And they find he is to be beheaded. The majority of the dialogue in the play revolves around death and dying. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosencrantz_and_Guildenstern_Are_Deadmany actors named John and Paul have been cast in productions of Rosencrantz and Guilderstern Are Deadin Alice in Wonderland, it is Tweedledee and Tweedledum that tell Alice the story of The Walrus and the Carpenter. Tweedledee and Tweedledum are two distinct people, but essentially one entity in many ways. Sort of like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The mixed and congealed identities brings to mind Beatles lyrics such as "I am the walrus" - "The walrus was Paul", "I am he as you are me..." and "The walrus and me, man. We're as close as can be man." Lennon and McCartney both resonating as the death figures of the Beatles. In the 1969 film, The Magic Christian, starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr, the first thing the two of them do is go see a performance of the play Hamlet. Their companion mentions it is at the part with Rosencrantz and Guilderstern. When they sit down to watch the play, Ringo says, "I've seen this. Shakespeare, right?" Sellers replies, "Right and double right!" At the end of the scene they watch, a sign comes down that reads "zap". In AHDN, when Paul quotes from Hamlet, "Oh that this too, too solid flesh would melt", he turns to the camera and exclaims, "Zap!" Notice he's holding a fake nose. To further directly connect it with The Beatles, in one of the next scenes they board a train almost exactly like the one used in AHDN. In the room they sit in, an Asian man gets switched out 3 times, and the newspaper-reading gentleman is only happy when he sees what he perceives as the original again. Which can be seen towards the end of this clip. Also notice Peter Sellers dons a fake goatee, like McCartney does in the beginning of AHDN, and glasses like Lennon does in Help! There's also a scene where Sellers bribes a rowing team to throw a race. The rowing boat later tips over, as does the one Ringo sees in AHDN. Tanks and a marching band. Both used in Help! There's also actors playing John & Yoko in the film. They are one board the ship, named The Magic Christian, which is headed from London to New York. (Lennon & Yoko later moved to NY). The Magic Christian was written by Terry Southern, who appears on the Sgt. Pepper cover. He also wrote Candy, which Ringo starred in. And he co-wrote Dr. Strangelove with Kubrick, which Peter Sellers starred in, playing 3 roles. The Magic Christian premiered in the US on Feb 11th, 1970. That is the anniversary of Ringo's marriage to Maureen. It is also the day The Beatles recorded the bulk of their first album, Please Please Me. 2/11 11 = K. K2, the mountain Crowley climbed. Peter Sellers recorded and released a 45 of him doing a rendition of A Hard Day's Night. He also performed it on the British tv special "The Music of Lennon & McCartney" www.jpgr.co.uk/col_em293.htmlFurther linking him to the multiples scenes in The Magic Christian and The Beatles

Back to AHDN. A wooden Ram on the piano above Paul. submarine and saying, "Help!" "Help me!" Notice the men in the Sgt. Pepper-like suits in the dressing room with them. Ringo wearing mock turtleneck In 1985 he played the Mock Turtle in a tv adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. "it's a fake mustache" in A Hard Day's Night, George shaves the reflection of the equipment manager. When Paul is asked if his grandfather can talk, Paul replies, "Of course he can talk, he's a human being isn't he?" Ringo then says, "Well if he's your grandfather who knows, hahaha." George turned backwards. Doesn't Paul turned backwards on the back of the Sgt. Pepper album mean he's dead? "And then while I'm away" "You say you will love me if I have to go" "One day you'll look to see I've gone. And now the time has come, and so my love I must go" "I lost someone who's near to me, I'm a loser, and I'm not what I appear to be"Going back to their previous album, Beatles For Sale, in the inner gatefold, which is very reminiscent of the Sgt. Pepper cover, we see the lads in front of a mural at Twickenham Studios. Not only is Paul holding a cigarette in his right hand, a la Abbey Road, and the mural alluding to the Sgt. Pepper crowd, but next to his head is an image of Jayne Mansfield from the film It Takes a Thief. In Which she plays a car thief named Billie. In 1967 Jayne died in a car wreck and was scalped by the ceiling of the car, thus losing her hair. (was Don't Pass Me By about her?)There are tons of images of them using guns. Too many to list in this post. Then in their next film, Help!, the Cult of Kaili chases Ringo and the lads, intending to sacrifice Ringo as he wears their sacrificial ring, which puts the lives of the entire group in danger. What is interesting is that the worst things happen not to Ringo, it is Paul & John who disguise themselves as Ringo and get knocked out by their captors. And Paul is shrunk by the serum intended for Ringo. When he is shrunk, they all think Ringo accidentally stepped on him and killed him. There is a scene of them in disguises. The ironic thing is how similar they look here to their later selves. The round glasses were in John's soup. Help! Brought to you by EastmanColor "For I have got another girl." Yesterday, The Night Before, "But as of today, well I've got somebody that's new." Paul's songs on Help contain the premise of yesterday vs. today, the changing of the guard, that was then, this is now. He also says, "I've just seen a face" and asks, "Tell me what you see?" And what was the B-side to the Help! single? I'm Down. in Help! John sings about how his life has changed in oh so many ways. in Yes It Is, Lennon hints at the death of a former lover, in Girl he sings, "Will she still believe it when she's dead?"Rubber Soul begins with 'Baby You Can Drive My Car', they then continue with other songs such as '...(This Bird Has Flown', 'Nowhere Man', 'I'm Looking Through You' (you have changed), and 'Run For Your Life'. Is the name Rubber Soul simply a play on words in reference to a style of music, or does it allude to death & rebirth? In 1966 the Yesterday and Today album is released. Not only do we have gruesome imagery, but allusions to Osiris being chopped into 14 pieces. Also alluding to the 'yesterday' of Beatlemania, and the 'today' of the new changing Beatles. The album was quickly replaced with a new image. Alluding to Osiris being put into a box. Notice they used a flipped image on the cover. Paul's hair was parted on his right that day - another thing that started occurring more often in 1967. From the Rosecrucian/Alchemical text Atalanta Fugiens, Michael Maier, 1617 Notice dismembered man in back, man in box in front. Emblem 44: Typhon kills Osiris by deceit, and disperses his limbs. But the famous Isis gathered them together. Atalanta Fugiens, Michael Maier, 1617. www.levity.com/alchemy/atl41-45.htmlOne of the recurring themes of the Revolver album is death, even 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was inspired by Leary's The Psychedelic Experience, which was based on The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which prepares the reader for death. Leary states in his book that the art of dying is just as important as the art of living. Timothy Leary said: "I declare that The Beatles are mutants. Prototypes of evolutionary agents sent by God, endowed with a mysterious power to create a new human species, a young race of laughing freemen." Aleister Crowley once said, "Cross the Abyss with a leap of laughter." Interesting how in Tomorrow Never Knows, there is a sped-up sample of Paul laughing, it is used a few times, one being after Lennon sings, "surrender to the void." Are the songs 'Got To Get You Into My Life' and 'Tommorow Never Knows' about approaching the Abyss? And the following albums are post-Abyss? Especially considering that one of the working titles for Revolver was Abracadabra. The word Abracadabra is written across the canopy of The Chariot in Crowley's Chariot Tarot card. And he claims it is the word of the New Aeon. The Chariot is what the Adept uses to cross the Abyss with. Lennon in suit of armor, and wearing beard from "...I'll murder you" scene in AHDN on Revolver cover Lennon was shot with a revolverThe other Tarot Trump in a suit of armor is the Death card Interesting that there are three dead or dying people on the card, and the Pope remains alive. Ringo plays the Pope in Frank Zappa's film 200 Motels.Crowley's Death card features a symbolic beheading and resurrection. Also notice the Wings over the Osiris crown. What the Death card represents is change. It represents the putrefacation stage, the final step in the Alchemical Great Work.

One could claim precognition with this stuff. But here is where we get into the Saturday Morning cartoons by Al Brodax, that the Beatles themselves had nothing to do with. And remember they were produced in 1965 and aired in late-65 through 1966. in the Eight Days a Week episode, a fan grabs Paul while driving. He loses control of the vehicle and they drive off a pier. An extremely similar yellow car was used in the Yellow Submarine film, which also contains several death clues, and again, the Beatles had nothing to do with the production. This is the scene where George says, "It's all in the mind." Is he saying Paul's death was a metaphysical one? Paul stands in front of a poster that reads "Beetle Killer" rip mac A master of disguise assumes the identity of Paul and tries to take his spot. Even the world's greatest fan can't tell them apart. from the Tell Me What You See episode. White on white painting, bringing to mind The White Album. In I Feel Fine, they go to Hollywood and Paul of all people spends the entire episode showing them how everything there is fake and phoney. (Sorry for any re-hashing. Thought this stuff deserved a thread of it's own).

Just to let you know you've been doing great work with this. Yes, I agree. Thanks for reminding us of these film scenes; no wonder no one could understand what The Beatles' films were about: it seems it was all in a bizarre code and is starting to look quite chilling. *********************************************************************************************************** Tweedledee and Tweedledum are two distinct people, but essentially one entity in many ways. Sort of like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

That's another story. However, on the John and Paul theme: what about those names John and Paul? Pope John, Pope Paul, Pope John Paul I (murdered), Pope John Paul II (replaced with imposter). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosencrantz_and_Guildenstern_Are_Dead Many actors named John and Paul have been cast in productions of Rosencrantz and Guilderstern Are Dead Also, the staircase which often figures on stage scenery and was also in the MMT finale "Your Mother Should Know". Is this the stairway to Heaven?

Is the name Rubber Soul simply a play on words in reference to a style of music, or does it allude to death & rebirth? Rubber Soul isn't their only album with death & rebirth imagery. On the front cover of the Help! album, they are not actually forming semaphore poses spelling h-e-l-p. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_semaphoreThis particular sequence is used in many ceremonies. But with the last being the X, which they replaced with the 'As Above, So Below' Sign. (George, John & Ringo's images were printed flipped on the cover).Thelemic ritual magick. The following sets of signs were assigned by Aleister Crowley to the various Grades of his order, the A.'.A.'.. The first sets (the Neophyte, elemental grade signs and L.V.X. signs) were derived from the grade signs of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Such signs often have multiple uses and meanings, depending on the context. Step Three: The Death-Rebirth Cycle These three letters also are Kabbalistically and visually/formally linked to the principle dynamic structure of all Western Mysticism, that of the Death-Rebirth Cycle. According to The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn: L == Isis Mourning (Osiris slain by Set) V == Apophis Triumphant (the Rule of Death) X == Osiris Risen (dead-yet-alive, to rule in the new order)www.rahoorkhuit.net/library/ceremonial/grades/opening_of_portal_of_the_vault.html(Opening of the Portal of the Vault of the Adepts) Notice here that George is now making the Osiris Risen sign. Apropriately, being he was in the Osiris Slain pose on the Help! cover. thefoolspeaks.com/showthread.php?t=533The Hermetic Rose Cross is the lamen of the Adeptus Minor initiates of the Golden Dawn, and on it the tLVX sequence can also be found. Radiating from behind the Hermetic Rose Cross are twelve barbed rose leaves – four large leaves each flanked by two smaller leaves. The four smaller leaves to the left contain the letters LVX and a Calvary Cross. The Four large leaves contain the letters INRI. Placed on the small leaves to the right of the large leaves are the letters IAO and another I. Now, while INRI is associated with both Alchemy and the crucifixion of Christ, what is interesting is that INRI translated in Hebrew is Yod, Nun, Resh, Yod. The astrological meanings of those letters equate to Virgo(Yod), Scorpio(Nun), Sol(Resh). As in, Isis (Virgo) mourning because an evil relative Apophis (Scorpio) has killed her husband, Osiris (Sol). Isis eventually raises Osiris from the dead. Which is how IAOI comes into play. I for Isis, A for Apophis, O for Osiris, and I for Isis resurrecting her husband. In the sign of the Mourning Isis, Isis holds her arms, suggestive of the letter L. In the sign of Apophis and Typhon, Apophis thrusts his arms above his head at a 90 degree angle, suggestive of the letter V. In the sign of Osiris Slain, he holds his arms out to his sides as if he were crucified. In the sign of Osiris Risen, he crosses his arms over his chest, forming an X on his body. Taken together, these are the signs of LVX, the Latin word for Light. LVX The Light of the Cross. “When the haze of nothingness disappears, we are presented with the image of a white cube (White Album?) that contains within itself the potential of all creation. After unfolding from cube form, The Golden Cross comes into existence.” The yellow sub (solar barque) becomes the golden cross. The Golden Cross + The Ruby Rose of Hermetic Rosecrucianism. And it is that Golden Cross that then folds into a cube from which multiple Beatles spring. Interesting that in the AHDN film, George & Paul basically form their same poses as seen on the Help! record, during the 'Can't Buy Me Love' segment. John & Ringo, not quite the same, but quite similar. In fact, is John forming the L pose? It’s also interesting that in the song Help!, John says, “And now I find I’ve changed my mind, I’ve opened up the doors.” "Changed my mind" could mean "I’ve altered my state of consciousness", becoming enlightened. Which would then make sense of the next line, "I’ve opened up the doors". Perhaps a reference to Huxley’s book The Doors of Perception, published in 1954. Taken from William Blake: "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.” Blake's quote also brings to mind the Pyramus & Thisbe skit. A large part of the play revolves around looking through a chink in a wall. And the ear on the Doors of Perception cover remind me of these One of the recurring themes of the Revolver album is death, even 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was inspired by Leary's The Psychedelic Experience, which was based on The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which prepares the reader for death. Leary states in his book that the art of dying is just as important as the art of living. 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was recorded on April 6th & 7th 1966. The next day, April 8th, Time published their infamous “Is God dead?” issue. April 8th, 1904, is the day Aleister Crowley began receiving dictation for The Book of the Law. The law of the new Aeon in which, according to Crowley, man no longer needs a shepherding God, as this is the Aeon in which man can master his own Will. Only 4 months after this magazine was published Datebook published theirs which included Lennon’s “more popular than Jesus” statement and his other criticisms on Christianity. We also see Leary's "Turn on, tune in, drop out" slogan here. April 8th is also Julian Lennon's birthday.

And continuing into ‘67 The Sgt. Pepper drum not only points to McCartney with implications of death, but it may also encode the death of Lennon. L (Lonely) = 12th letter, H (Hearts) = 8th letter. Lennon died on 12/8 (He delivered his apology for his “more popular than Jesus” remark on 8/12/66. And the AHDN film was released in the US on 8/12/64 - "Behave yourself John, Or I'll murder you.")The Latin name for walrus is Odobenus Rosmarus Divergens. Odobenus means "walks on teeth", which is interesting because Paul chipped his left front tooth in the mid-60s. ( I’ll spare you my Jim Carrey spiel on how his same tooth is chipped the same way, etc.)The Rosmarus part is Norse for ' horse of the sea'. (I'll also spare you my spiel on all the Rosemary's Baby/Lennon syncs).Interesting that Tim Carey, from Kubrick’s “The Killing” is making a hidden kill on the Sgt. Pepper cover. In “The Killing” he shoots a racehorse. Red Rum was the name of a famous racehorse. There is a crushed red VW Beetle in The Shining - Wendy Torrence and MDChapman both read Catcher in the Rye. Carey stands behind George. his gun is behind Paul, though, he's looking through the scope for a longer shot. More over past Hitler. We also see the the waxen Beatlemania statues were concealing Sophia Loren. Hiding the Wisdom. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_(wisdom)On 12/8/67 The Rolling Stones released their answer to Sgt. Pepper, Their Satanic Majesties Request. Images of all four Beatles on the cover. On the inside of the jacket, on the right side there is a maze. There is no way to get to the center of the maze. Is this a way of saying that PID is an unsolvable riddle? That same day, The Beatles released their MMT double EP. This is exactly 13 years before Lennon is shot. Later that month the film was released, and in the first scene Lennon plays a ticket master and stands next to a sign that reads, “The best way to go”, with the initials M&D C Possible alluding to Mark David Chapman. Interesting how ancient Egyptians revered the dung beetle. They believed the sun was rolled across the sky like a stone by beetles.

Sharon Tate was murdered in the house that belonged to Doris Day's son, Terry Melcher. The Beatles mention Doris Day in their song Dig It. Doris starred in her last film in '68, titled With Six You Get Eggroll. She plays the role of a woman named Abby. It is released on August 7th, 1968. Remember on August 8th, 1969 the Beatles took their Abbey Road album cover photo, and the next day, August 9th, was when Tate was murdered, along with her friend Abigail Folger. Lennon is the only Beatle that was 28 during the Abbey Road photo shoot (28 on license plate), and it is him during the first 4 bars of the first track on that album saying "Shoot me". Remember the wooden Ram on the piano that McCartney plays in the film A Hard Day’s Night. The same Ram is in With Six You Get Eggroll! They make a point to keep it in center-shot during this scene, which is the very first scene inside the lead male character's house. They even do a 90 degree turn on this axis, keeping the ram directly at bottom-center of the frame.. A few scenes later, the daughter is having a record party, and we see the Ram with a record on it. Now that's what I call a hard (Doris) Day's night.Oh, and Doris Day’s character also happens to have a pet sheepdog. Martin Melcher, Day's husband and Terry Melcher's stepfather produced With Six You Get Eggroll. Terry Melcher was a record producer that worked with The Beach Boys and The Byrds and other California rock groups. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_MelcherSharon Tate's mother is also named Doris. Sharon's housekeeper, the one who discovered the dead bodies, is named Winifred Chapman. Manson's followers also murdered Leno & Rosemary LaBianca, the day before Tate. (Leno - Leto?) Jared Leto played Mark David Chapman in Chapter 27. The role of John Lennon was played by Mark Lindsay Chapman. Lindsay Lohan played Jude in Chapter 27, and is rumored to play Sharon Tate in an upcoming film on her life.

Paul is shrunk (Alice in Wonderland much?) by the serum intended for Ringo. When he is shrunk, they all think Ringo accidentally stepped on him and killed him. Paul being shot execution-style. By Ringo... He is the only one this is done to. John’s sunken bed, a grave metaphor?

The first song the Quarrymen ever recorded was a Buddy Holly song, ‘That’ll Be the Day’, the verse concludes with the line “that’ll be the day that I die.” The B-side they recorded was one of Paul’s called, ‘In Spite of All the Danger’. In How I Won the War, when Lennon’s character dies he looks at the camera and says, “I knew this would happen. You knew it would happen, didn’t ya?” Earlier in the film, another character predicts his own death, while cutting into one of Lennon’s lines. Eleanor Bron, the lead actress in Help!, plays Mary the mother of Jesus in the film The Day Christ Died, which came out in… 1980! Lennon died on December 8th, which is the Catholic day of 'The Feast of the Immaculate Conception'. Almost exactly nine months later is 9/11 On 9/11/81, a film titled The Haunting of Julia (aka Full Circle) was released in the US. Mia Farrow starrs as Julia. (Remember Mia was the mother in Rosemary's Baby). Lennon's mother was named Julia, she died the day after The Quarrymen finished their said first recording. There are 111 days left in the year after 9/11
111X
L (Lonely) = 12th letter, H (Hearts) = 8th letter.the last half of Lennon's license plate was 111C C is the 3rd letter in the alphabet, X is the 3rd from last. 9/11 interesting that the most prominent Shirley Temple on the Pepper cover is in flight gear.

George turned backwards. Doesn't Paul turned backwards on the back of the Sgt. Pepper album mean he's dead? It appears McCartney also had photos taken turned around for the Hard Day's Night session. (and drinking a soda right-handed. I know how everyone loves it when I point that out)mybeatlesgallery.tumblr.com/post/5167104524/paul-mccartney-and-george-harrison-outtakes-from-aand another shot of McCartney doing that eye thing. Donald Pleasence is in the top-left corner of the mural of actors, from the gatefold image of the Beatles For Sale LP. In Sharon Tate’s first starring role, Eye of the Devil, Pleasence starred as the leader of the coven she belongs to. Which requires a human sacrifice every generation. Interesting that Pleasence is in the top-left corner. On the Sgt. Pepper cover, Aleister Crowley sits at the top-left corner. The rejected cornerstone that becomes the capstone. Most here know that Lennon's criticisms concerning Christianity were inspired by a book called 'The Passover Plot'. In 1976, Donald Pleasence starred as Pontious Pilate in the film adaptation of that book.He’s also in the Bee Gee’s Sgt. Pepper movie. But speaking of Barabbas, Sharon Tate’s first appearance in a film was in Barabbas (1961) Keir Dullea (David Bowman from 2001) played Elisha in Give Us Barabbas (1961) David Bowie was Pontius Pilate in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)And Sharon Tate wasn't the only young lady starring in films about Satanic cults. Jane Asher starred as Francesca in The Masque of the Red Death with Vincent Price, in 1964. Based on Edgar Allen Poe's novel. In it, there is a scene with Jane Asher in a bathtub. I only mention that because in every film Sharon Tate was in, she is submerged in water, be it a pool or a river etc. (except for Eye of the Devil, where she was rained on twice).Which brings to mind the bathtub scene in Lucifer Rising. And the photo of Paul in the bath on the White Album poster. Bobby Beausoleil starred in and wrote the music for Lucifer Rising. He was also a close associate of Charles Manson's. See the shadows of the words Paul and Bass? Filming for Lucifer Rising began in 1966. For what it's worth, in Help!, Paul bathes in the orange (red hair) soda while in the ashtray. Also notice the orange pyramid in the Lucifer Rising image. The screenplay for The Masque of the Red Death was co-written by R. Wright Campbell yes, the brother of actor William Campbell. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wright_CampbellUncanny similarities with these posters And speaking of Tate being rained on. Doesn't this scene from Eye of the Devil remind you of the Rain and Paperback Writer promo-films? both were filmed in '66 Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the illegitimate son of Orson Welles filmed this Beatles promo. Orson Welles was in Sharon Tate's last film 12 + 1. In it he played Dr. Jeckyl & Mr Hyde, a man that murders young women.

In search for where Eye of the Devil was filmed (mainly France, but some locations in England --- where is to be found) I hadn't realised that Terry Southern also worked on the film, brought in to do an uncredited "tighting and brightning" of the screenplay ( Hill, Lee A Grand Guy: The Art and Life of Terry Southern HarperCollins, 20 February 2001)

Terry Southern and Donald Pleasence are gold mines.
