    Those Mormons

    "Finally, if you were concerned that there was only one campy

    film called "Trapped by the Mormons," that unintentional silent classic

    from the 1920s has been remade by a group of Washington hipsters

    (now relocated to Brooklyn, N.Y.). You don't want or need a learned

    treatise on this topic, but apparently Mormons were perceived in

    early-20th century Britain as a murderous cult that abducted young women

    into polygamous sexual servitude."

    The evil villians of the first Sherlock Holmes story, 'A Study in Scarlet' were Mormons.
