I Dunno, Just a Thought Vol. 20

NP: Amanda Palmer - Everybody Hurts

For Halloween I am going to be my Id. essentially the costume is a cross between Mr. Blonde, David Hess, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, and the Joker as he appears in the graphic novel Arkham Asylum. this is the first time in like ten years that i've dressed up for Halloween so i'm trying to make it a good 'un.

Started work on my first screenplay. Title is The House Behind Her Body. influences include;

- the aforementioned Arkham Asylum Graphic Novel
- Cannibal Holocaust
- Subconscious Cruelty

- Richard Stanley's original screenplay for The Island of Dr. Moreau.

The story is about an inmate uprising at the Iris Thatcher Memorial Asylum. It's going to be bloody and uncomfortable and disorienting...the idea of "inmates taking over the asylum" in extremis, taken to as far a level as one can envision. think the prison riot episode from the first season of Oz crossed with the more hallucinogenic moments Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest, with some Jorodowsky imagery and European Splatter thrown in for good measure.

i dunno... just a thought.
