the Hammer Horror Film "The reptile" inspires this strage phanomen.
or will you laughing at me ?

There are some cults that worship reptiles and alter their bodies to match it. This can include tattoos, slicing their tongues to create a forked appearance, and placing items under the skin to create ridges under the skin.
These cults are normally Western. The sects (not quite a cult because its not as a defined group) that worship reptiles in India are usually considered Hindus. Yes, their culture is very old, but it normally doesn't involve the body mutilation that the Western cults enact.
I haven't seen "the reptile," but on the whole, horror films don't spend their budgets on research to ensure the references to real religions are accurate.

I've heard that comic book writer Alan Moore believes in this stuff (or maybe the article was half-serious? I'm not sure.) I think Wikipedia mentioned this.

Not sure what you're asking. Asking if I think they exist or if I believe what they do?
They do exist but I don't follow their belief.
