Last night I dreamed (movie quality technicolor) about some frankensteinian scientist that was preserving body parts and then grafting them onto people, like if you lost a leg in an unfortunate industrial accident he would steal you from the hospital and afix one of his trademarked preserved limbs to you. It was creepy as fuck. He also just stole people for his experiments, if they had a limb he wanted, he iced them. And he kept protesting that his work was beneficial, how could anybody object. I think he was quite bonkers. He had a "secret lab" where he hid his bits and attached them. One of his early experiments was a young boy and he attached a full grown man's leg to the boy and said "he'll grow into it" and that boy grew up to be a serial killer that came after the family of the scientist. The wife had died a long time ago but he had two daughters who were completely unaware of the "work" their father did. He took the girls to his hidden lab to hide them but it was too late, the killer had been there, and had made a mess of the lab, strewing the preserved body parts all over the place so that they would decompose and be unusable to the scientist guy. Then he stalked the scientist and his daughters. The killer guy turned out not only to be a fucked up experiment from the doctor's past, but a childhood friend of the older daughter. He had disappeared when they were young (stolen for experimental use) and so now he was in his early twenties and had tracked down the doctor and was back to put the hurt on him first by terrorising him and then planned to kill him. The older daughter figured out what was going on and was trying to protect her younger sister (from the killer and the information about their father), so she ran away with her so her father couldn't find them.
It was a very detailed dream. The boy/killer had been seriously damaged on multiple levels by the experimentation, and had that whole perma-creepy-grin thing going on like the Joker in the Batman movie. The lab was really messy and seemed haunted, things boiled even when taken off the burners and stray body parts became animated. It was really fucking gross.
I think maybe I want to see "Sin City" again, at least the gore in it made some sense.
Strangely, while this was a gross and disgusting dream, it was very movie-like, I wasn't a character in it, I was watching it and so not scared really, just frequently disgusted.
Gah!
why am i having weirdass dreams?,
