The Human Centipede is either the lowest art form in the history of cinema or the greatest horror franchise, depending on which sicko you ask. You're probably well aware of the series, about a depraved doctor who stitches people up ass-to-mouth in order to create—yep, you guessed it—A HUMAN CENTIPEDE.
It's shocking, it's offensive, Roger Ebert refused to even give it a rating. The second Human Centipede movie involves an imitation wack job who recreates the horror that was done in the first film. And the third and latest film (out May 22) is about a prison warden who centipedes the shit out of his inmates. Eww. (It also received the rare F rating on The A.V. Club.)
Anyway, the good people over at Vulture published an oral history of the franchise today, including stories of outrageous casting, off-set humor, and possibilities for future Centipede films. Here are seven things we, unfortunately, learned (warning: this is not for the faint of heart).
