For those who haven't been witness to the magic of H.R Pufnstuf i implore you to watch this. It was one of my favourite childhood shows although after re-watching it at this age it does verge a little on the creepy side. It's utterly bizarre and I'm guessing hardcore hallucinogens were about during it's creation, for instance...the magic flute named Freddie. It also has a few good examples of very early prosthetic makeup being used, especially on the character Witchypoo, making it slightly relevant to this blog and my re-watching of the first six episodes "research". Obviously the use of prosthetics in stage makeup has slightly evolved since this show.
Witchypoo.
The Gang.
