Wrong Hands by John Atkinson for October 21, 2022

Trio? Brick pig did it right.

John Atkinson’s Wrong Hands: Igor brought back a mismatched pair from the graveyard.

weird!

Nobody ever talks about the fourth pig, their sister. I believe she made an appearance in Killing Eve, season 2.

Snow White is also a really creepy story when you think of it. The prince seems to be a necrophiliac – why else would he want to kiss what appears to be a corpse?

I’d read all three of these.

These are great and so funny!!

Excellent!

The Wizard of Oz was once famously summarized as “ Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.”

One of them wasn’t inept.

Fiddly point: Frankenstein never reanimated a corpse; he builds a synthetic man. (Cells are just blobs of goo, not anything complicated. Any genius could do it!) It’s a pity Victor doesn’t know how to reanimate corpses: he could’ve brought the Creature’s victims back to life to tell on the blighter.

william rice burroughs’ snow white

weird group sex cult sells fruit laced with illicit drugs to unsuspecting supermarkets…

Bram Stoker’s “Pinocchio”, where a blood-thirsty marionette seduces unsuspecting victims. His elongated nose is used to pierce the victims’ necks to draw life-sustaining blood.

Very clever idea but not sure about the Sleeping Beauty one: the curse in the story is for her to be so deeply asleep that people think she’s dead, so she isn’t a “corpse” and she isn’t “reanimated,” only awakened.

I’ll sleep on it.
