- In this series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips from 1964, Henry Mullens AKA Henry Hite AKA the "Corn King Giant" can be seen with a group of average-sized people. The clips open with a shot of Henry Hite wearing a crown and cape standing with a group of unidentified white men and women. The next scene shows a woman placing her hand on top of Henry's to show the size discrepancy; she then puts her foot next to his to show that size discrepancy. The next scene shows the group of men and women looking up at Henry. The next scene shows the group together with Henry Hite as he towers above them. He can be seen talking with the group. The last scenes show the hand and foot size comparisons again.
