The Lovecraft piece you're thinking of is "Pickman's Model," and yeah, I can definitely see the heritage.<br /><br />About the feedback from the other guys: I'm going to side with you, here. One of the charms of Lovecraft's tale--and yours--is the ambiguity. Monsters unseen (or in this case, unheard), glimpsed out of the corner of our eyes, the shadow on the wall--these are all more scary than the thing revealed. The imagination is far more powerful, and scarier, than any flesh-and-blood creature; and I think this production is stronger for not having the wet, sloppy sounds of a human body being dismembered to "add" to the horror. It's horrific. I vote leave it be. (Not that my vote counts for anything, but that's my $0.02.)<br /><br />--MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
