These are a bit trickier to find than i thought, but this is the one i'm going to do- The innocent Louise is unjustly locked in an asylum with several insane women. A nurse assigned to protect her blithely leaves for a staff party as soon as Louise falls asleep. The insane women decide that a cuckoo bird is imprisoned in Louise's head and and one gouges out her eye with a knitting needle. The other crazy women are freaked and burn the gouger's face off on a hot plate.
Two brothers have an orgy with two prostitutes at a lighthouse. The lighthouse beacon goes out and one of the brothers realizes a boat containing their mother is heading toward the rocks. But the drunken lighthouse keeper has locked the beacon door. The brother goes nuts, blames everything on an earlier blasphemy by one of the hookers, slits her throat, and throws her out the window. "The boat with the men's mother crashes against the rocks," Gordon says. "In a religious frenzy, the [brothers] decide to burn [the other prostitute] to death. After pouring gasoline on her, they incinerate her and pray." The end.

Oh yes! That is good stuff. (Its like my darker dreams, but obviously much better recieved by the public!) Were we thinking of doing a collective forum printable-something on this, cos I would happily join such an endevour... Good choice for the asylum one.
That was something we are gonna talk about next time.
Both Lewis and I think we could do a cracking little book based on the Grand Guignol plays.
So, yes I think it's a project we can all get involved in... | |
