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.

That was hot.

Anyways, that wasn't so bad compared to one's own imagination...or maybe that's just me.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

As far as the clip goes, that's what happens when you ask the wrong guy for more T&A.

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!"

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)
