What is THE PICKLER and why is it About a Giant Killer Penis?

Misc

Posted by Peter Hall - July 1st 2009 @ 9:07 pm

I came across the FX Makeup page of one Amber Atkisson earlier and on it was this impressive sculpture test of a killer penis for a project called THE PICKLER, about which I can find no information. Though the end monster looks a lot closer to an ALIEN chest-burster than it does a human penis, I’ll leave the full snap of the veiny bastard off of the main page for those sensitive to such matters.

Check out Amber Atkisson’s FX page for more images, one of which is a sketch showing the intended scale of the monster penis mayhem.

All you need to know about Horror’s Not Dead in a single sentence: when I saw the “Monster Penis” tag, I figured there was a 50-50 chance at least one other post would come up.

Hah, I just created that tag but could easily find other stories to stick it on.

Yeah, you should probably put that tag on my guest review.
