Just ask yourself . . .

Answers welcomed
Q10: When did one realize he'd soon be wyrm food?
A: As for myself, as soon as I saw him standing by the side of the road in the rain, trying to thumb a ride, I'd knew what his fate would be.
Q11: Since they indicate his age, what was the colour of his garter tabs?
Q12: Why did he not only put his rucksack, but also his coat and hat in the back?
Q13: Since Sylvia did not give him the keys to get into the back, how did he get into the back?
A: I know some cars have a trunk or boot release near the dashboard, but I don't know whether that year and make of car does or does not.
Q14: What happened to the uniform he was wearing and the rest of his things?
Q15: Whys?
a. a boy scout?
b. is he wearing such an outdated uniform?
c. most likely underage?
d. is he shown suffering from acne?
e. homely instead of handsome?
f. is he so sexually passive?
Q16: And why a girlfriend? Since that would work against him being a virgin, and next to the Trents, he is probably the most hetero character in the film.
Arguablely . . .
If Little Maria (played by Marilyn Harris) in 1931's "Frankenstein" is the best example of murdered child victim of a female persuasion in horror films, then Kevin (played by Chris Pitt) in "Lair of the White Worm" is the best murdered child victim of a male persuasion in horror films.
And it is also an example of Ken Russell's boldness, when making a film. Something similiar happens in the recent "Under the Skin," as a female driver picks up a male thumbing a ride, probably for sexual purposes, takes him to where she lives, and then kills him, when he gets naked. But, all her victims seem to be adult males. Only Ken Russell in all his boldness, is one of the few to use a character that is underage and played by an underaged actor.
Next time: the Trents and Erny.
