    The human centipede movie has to be one of the dumber pieces of horror created recently.

    the point? be gross.

      no, the point is to warn you that if you are visiting Germany (or any other country) be careful, don;t wander up to strangers houses, and do not accept a drink from them because you might wake up sewn to your best friend’s butthole.

    Looks like a corporate board meeting.

      LOL! Or the strategy necessary for career advancement in any bureaucratic organization, public or private sector!

    Either this photo needs Shocked Kitteh or I’ve been spending too much time on 4chan.

  • libraryboi

    If this had been titled Sock Monkey Centipede, the position of the dolls would have sufficient to evoke the movie Human Centipede without hitting people over the head with the reference. We already get it. Since there’s nothing human about the image, this current title makes no sense.

      Blimey, would you describe yourself as more happy or go-lucky?

      thanx for the clarification..i think

    I believe a far more appropriate reference to this would be in keeping with the african preacher in this video

    So when do we get the “Lady Gaga eating the sock monkey human centipede” painting?

    This fabulous experiment was created by my friend Lori Muffinface. You can see more of her work via the collective Third Half Studios.

    I’d prefer Sock Monkey Corporate Foodchain, what with the positioning of their noses and all.

    • Lori Muffinface

      perfect comment!

  • Lori Muffinface

    Hahaha,this is my creation. I have built a stand for when they are ready to be upright. The surgery locations are still sore so they aren’t ready to be up and at them.

    Thank Gretchen for the shout out!

    You should friend our page on facebook. just search for Third half studios!

    Of course I would see this again. I first saw the trailer to the movie two nights ago after I was locked out of my apartment and the property manager offered to let me stay in her apartment until the locksmith came. This is absolutely no less terrifying in sock monkey form.

  • RustyTrawler

    Aaack! And I thought it was impossible to make sock monkeys any more frightening.

  • irksome

    Gawd, I just HATE when that happens.

  • IronEdithKidd

    One of my favorite Craftster catagories: Crafting for good, not evil. This is evil. And gross. Two thumbs down.

  • Jeff

    I had almost forgotten about that movie. Why oh why.

    Uh…where are the first two tails???

    Brilliant! Suck-Monkey. Where’s the best place to get those red-heeled socks?

  • OoerictoO

    you never go ass to mouth!

  • Donald Petersen

    The red stitchery denoting the gastrointestinal pathway is quite a neat touch.

  • stupidjerk

    This has put a nasty spin on my day. I think I’m going to leave work and go home and make sure my sock monkey is safe.

  • T0AD

    i would like to know the thought process behind the naming convention Xeni used for the jpg. I hope this was copy paste residue.

    This is just frightening… I immediately though of Tom Six’s The Human Centipede (2010)From the wiki: “The film tells the story of a German doctor who kidnaps three tourists and joins them surgically, mouth to anus, forming a “human centipede”.[2] Having completed the operation, the doctor begins training the centipede, while attempting to hide his actions from the attention of the outside world.”

      I immediately though of Tom Six’s The Human Centipede (2010)

      How on earth did you make that connection?
