BBC Magazine features a guy who repairs the fiberglass giants from American Roadside history. These often (now) politically incorrect giants were used to entice roadtrippers to stop and spend money -especially on car repairs and gas, but also tourist "attractions".

Snakeadelic Saturday Jul 23 08:23 AMGravdigr, not sure that poor Chief Owmanose is from the Flathead tribe...their lands don't have much by way of flat horizons. Flatface tribe, however, is another story entirely .
I know a fella who used to live in Tombstone, Arizona and who would often dress in 'vintage wild west awesome' for fun. He had a friend who would do the same, and they got asked for photos A LOT when sitting in front of their favorite cigar shop (wooden chief included). If they weren't talking when tourists wandered up, they were sometimes mistaken for statues or animatronics; if they were talking it was often assumed they were actors hired to "Old West" the place up.
And I constantly get the titles mixed up, but I have seen like ALL the horror anthology movies. I love me some 'Old Chief Wood'nhead' from Creepshow 2 (although the part I find actually terrifying is that the rebellious young warrior grew up to be Detective Hagen on CSI: Miami).
