I'd refer to it as being vile, but I'm afraid it would come after me.
Clearly audiences were easier to please back then.

The man is handsome, the dummy is just plain scary!

Holy crap, the ventriloquist in this photo is my doppleganger! Can you tell me more about this man and the photo? I'd like to use this as album art for my band's next record.
