8. The Tale of Elmer McCurdy

In 1911, bandit Elmer McCurdy was shot to death after robbing a train of a whopping $46. His corpse was then embalmed and sold to a traveling carnival. Over the next 60 years, the corpse traded hands through several carnival exhibits. It was largely forgotten about until Steve Austin accidentally broke its finger while filming the “Carnival of Spies” episode of SMDM. It was news to everyone on set that the corpse of Elmer McCurdy was anything more than a lifeless prop.
