vinyarb- you just have to read it

Director Tom Six claims that the idea for horror film The Human Centipede came about when he joked with a few friends about punishing child molesters by "stitching their mouths to the anus of a fat truck driver".

However, the film could be loosely related to a cold case known as The Beaumont Children Disappearance in Australia in 1966. The 3 children, Grant, Jane and Arnna had been playing on the beach by themselves. They were last seen playing comfortably with a stranger, and never seen again. The case was never fully resolved, but one of the main suspects was 37 year old accountant, Bevan Spencer von Einem.

The following is an excerpt from the wiki page:

Investigations led police to a 37-year-old accountant, Bevan Spencer von Einem. Witnesses began to come forward, many claiming to be in fear for their lives and telling of a secret society of highly placed Adelaide professional men who preyed on boys and young men, by drugging, raping and sometimes killing them. Von Einem was charged with the murder of Richard Kelvin only.

One of the witnesses, regarded as highly credible by police, related a conversation in which von Einem boasted of having taken three children from a beach several years earlier, and said he had taken them home to conduct experiments. He said he had performed surgery on each of them, and had "connected them together". One of the children had died during the procedure and so he had killed the other two and dumped all the bodies in bushland south of Adelaide. Police had not considered von Einem in connection with the Beaumont children, but he very closely matched the descriptions and police sketches from 1966.

Furthermore he was known to have frequented Glenelg Beach and to have been fond of children.The reference to surgical experimentation also corresponded to the coroner's reports on several of the murdered youths. Von Einem also told the witness that he had taken two girls from the Adelaide Oval during a football match. He said he had killed them but did not elaborate. Von Einem received a life sentence for the murder of Richard Kelvin, and is assumed to have been involved in the deaths of the other young men. No accomplices were ever charged. He has refused to co-operate with investigators about his possible connection with other murders.

Crazy dude with german name... stitching people together... Now tell me you don't see the similarities!

So if Tom Six really did come across this case and used it as an inspiration, remember, vinyarb broke the news!

Thanks to Richard Venmore for the tip-off!
