Witness the genius of Screaming Mad George, one of the true special effects visionaries working today. He uses absolutely no CGI to create gloopy, strange, mind-boggling imagery for movies like Predator and The Abyss, as well as indie freakfests like Jack Frost and this flick, called Faust: Love of the Damned. One of Brian Yuzna's latter-day vids, Faust is basically your standard dude-sells-his-soul deal, except for this scene. I've seen a lot of fucked up shit, kids, but this is definitely one of the most deranged. The bad sorcerer guy punishes a chick for double-crossing him by changing her body in some . . . interesting ways. Also, I think he's giving her super-orgasms or something. Otherwise, how do you explain all that goo running down her legs? Needless to say, this is NSFW, and probably not safe for your mental health either.
Screaming Mad George, brian yuzna, faust: love of the damned, holy crap what the fuck, horror, movies...

Well! He certainly likes big butts and he cannot lie.
(I think it's that Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre music in the background that really adds the creepy icing on the freaked out cake.)
(And yes, I did just use the words "icing" and "cake" in reference to that clip)
doesn't the tag NSFW imply that there are circumstances under which the tagged content would be safe?
Actually, the scariest part for me was the Scooby Doo tiptoe music going on in the background. I kept expecting Shaggy to be sneaking past the evil sorcerer with a super-duper sandwich halfway to his mouth. "Zoinks, Scoob, it's total titsville over here!"
@tetracycloide: NSEvah
@92BuickLeSabre: I'm wondering if I've actually discovered the cinematic equivalent of goatse.
It's like the inflating dinghy gag, except with people.
Oh. My. God. That.... wow...
@Annalee: If so, would that fill you with pride, shame or emptiness?
@whyaduck: I think . . . pride? Wait, um, shame? Er . . .
@Annalee: If it were me, it would be pure pride! Unless someone I knew found out, then it's all shame spiral. Oh, so I guess you were right.
As far as the clip goes, that's what happens when you ask the wrong guy for more T&A.
...
Could I get a rimshot, please?
@whyaduck: Zing! Also, I love your Groucho avatar and Chico reference. I wish the Marx Brothers had done a scifi flick so I could write about it endlessly here.
thats really messed up.
This is a comic book movie. I never saw it but there is a pretty ****ed up comic called Faust and it has the girl with the black and white hair. Tim Vigil was the evil genius behind the comic. You can read more about it on his myspace.
@tetracycloide:
Not Safe For Work, holmes!!
@Annalee: In Duck Soup Groucho had an evil twin from the "behind the mirror dimension." [youtube.com] In my book, that qualifies as scifi. Commence writing!
@markcheng: I think he's implying that perhaps there should be a stronger tag. May I suggest, NSFYP (Not Safe For Your Psyche)?
Is... is it bad that I didn't flinch or blink at this?
Anyway best SFX = The Thing and I won't budge on that opinion.
@Annalee: Naahh...tubgirl maybe. But a 4-Fatty Clover doesn't quite reach Goatse for me.* Or maybe it's the other way around?
*reminds self never to use words "reach,""Goatse," and "me" in the same sentence again.
@Huxleyhobbes: Yup, yup, yup. I am a huge fan of Carpenter's The Thing. You know it's good when one of the characters in the movie says about one of the effects, "You've gotta be fucking kidding." I love that scene.
But atleast with goatse and tubgirl, you know wtf is happening... with this, not so much...
Umm... yeah, that was momentarily cool, then blammo with the weird. Maybe it's becuase I watched without sound... I dunno...
"He uses absolutely no CGI" - doesnt the first time her boobs expand (like 2 seconds in) look like a digital morph? Does that not count as CGI?
Never been more glad to be queer. Never did understand the straight guy obsession with bigger T&A anyway.
that was strangely arousing and a totally mind fuck at exactly the same time...
io9 you always bring me the strangest stuff from the bowels of the internet...
I'm quite fond of your basic T&A, now and then -- but not quite that much.
@92BuickLeSabre: I'd say the other way around. This was worse than Goatse in my book, but goatse has never bothered me.
Ow, my eyes. My brains. My bits. Just... Wow.
Sadly for me, I've seen that before. x.x
@Jere: Ditto. My first thought was "yawn. wonder if there's anything else on."
and probably not safe for your mental health either.? Oh, puh-leeze.
@Jere: As a straight guy, I honestly can't tell you either. I mean, I'm fond of ample portions of both, but like... once you start reaching Pam Anderson proportions, it just becomes gross, IMO.
That's almost as scary as Leprechaun 4.
How... Interesting.
I would recommend Not Safe For Humanity tags in the future.
It started out so well, too...
I have to wonder what sort of issues someone would have, to come up with such a horrific way to mutilate a woman for the purposes of entertainment.
The clip's like a road accident. What's the rest of this movie like?
Nice freak show. Yuk! Why not tag this with "Sick horrific torture of women"? I'm really looking forward to seeing the male equivalent--Not.
i hate living in the future. instead of watching weird, trippy flying ballets or thunder-dome style gladiatorial sport, i get to watch this stuff.
OMG I think you just broke my sense of decency
@strider_mt2k: My thoughts exactly. The first four seconds were oscar-worthy.
I'm not seeing the mental threat. So he transformed her into a cross between Courtney Love and Liz Taylor. Two Girls One Cup is much more mind-bending.
That reminds me a bit of the gigantic egg sac girl from Slither. It also reminds me of cookie dough. Now I want to eat cookies, and to watch Nathan Fillon.
@Trongasm: I think that's got to be the best explanation for this video ever.
"Hey..this isn't so whoa okay i like boobs and all HOLY-WHY IS SHE OH CHRIST EWWW."
Does anyone else think that guy looks/sounds like Mikhail from Lost?
I rented this movie years ago because I thought it'd be more based on the classic story... jesus christ was I ever wrong!
Did anyone used to read the Faust comic by Tim Vigil? I was 14 working at a comic store and used to feel all pervy handling it until i took it home and started reading it; the art was okay but the story sucked like whoa!
Fap.
@NeoPoliticus: Lep in the hood up to do no good?
You know I hate to point it out but computer effects are used in that clip, and it's pretty tame compared to some of the more extreme things in Troma movies.
I heart SMG- but I warn you, Faust is an awful, awful, AWFUL movie.
Tim Vigil's comic is a mess, too. But at least it's fairly entertaining it's nihilistic violence.
Oh, anyway, the chick in the movie is hot.
Definitely worth adding the "Nightmare Fuel" tag for.
And hey -- bigger boobs aren't science fiction anymore!
Sick! I loved it!
That was hot.
@shini: NSFH (Not Safe For Humanity) that is gold!
Anyways, that wasn't so bad compared to one's own imagination...or maybe that's just me.
That's going to give some teenage boys some interesting fetishes, i bet.
Anybody seen a recent pic of Screaming Mad George? He was screaming mad hot back in the 90s, I recall.
it's like the fucked up female-transformation-for-humiliation fetish bits of Jack Chalker novels
for more weird Screaming mad George wrongness - how about society sexual morphing vampiric incest?
It's actually a good film - ish
Not to sound TOO stupid but what the heck is NSFW??
@oldandintheway: Read the comments. Its NotSafeForWork, unless you work at a porn/movie studio...
anyone else notice that the actor is Mikhail from LOST? Andrew Divoff.
Wow that's crazy, I want to see the whole film - any idea where I can get my hands on it? SamSwashbuckler[Cat]GMail[Dog]Com . Thanks!
