Other souvenirs such as Staffordshire pottery models and printed broadsheets were made. Drawings of scenes relating to the murder were sold, in black and white as 'Penny dreadfuls' or at twopence for the coloured versions (known as 'tuppence coloureds'). Some (Hope's Scenes) depicted well-known actors portraying the roles of Corder and Maria in the various plays. Many books about the murder have been published - several of them plagiarised and unacknowledged versions of Curtis. The 20th century saw the famous black-and-white film Murder in the Red Barn by Todd Slaughter. Although in late middle age, Slaughter himself played the 24 year old Corder. A set of 78 rpm records based on the film was also issued. The film is occasionally broadcast on late-night television. Even today, there is considerable interest in the Red Barn. People fascinated by the story still visit Polstead and St Edmundsbury museums to see the locations and the relics. Television series, radio programmes - and even web-sites! - are still being produced.
