"He keeps talking about a centipede with 12 people. What does that mean?"

Let's assume that if you're reading this, you're a horror fan. What does that mean to you, though? Do you buy tickets to conventions and pay extra to meet your heroes in person and have them sign a piece of memorabilia? Do you get a job in a haunted house so you can feel what it's like to be a monster, if only for a few short weekends in the early fall? How far will you go to prove your devotion to your favorite film?

I'd like to tell you about a movie that shows what it means to be a true horror fan.

This week's Thursday Thriller is The Human Centipede II: (Full Sequence).

This 2011 Tom Six film is about a guy named Martin (Laurence R. Harvey) who adores Six's other film The Human Centipede: First Sequence. Who can blame him? It's a groundbreaking feature in the field of sewing people's mouths to other people's buttholes.

Martin has a job as a security guard in a parking garage, which allows him a lot of lonely hours to study his favorite film, but other than that he hasn't got a whole lot going for him. He's short, fat and mentally handicapped. His father sexually abused him when he was a baby, and his screaming bitch of a mom blames him for his father's imprisonment. Martin's life is pretty bleak, but he finds comfort in a homemade scrapbook he's made about The Human Centipede and some special pictures he has of one of the film's stars Ashlynn Yennie. Martin likes the movie so much, he decides to make his own human centipede.

As a horror fan, Martin embodies a DIY spirit that far surpasses that of anyone who ever made their own Freddy glove. He proves you don't need a surgeon's expertise or fine instruments to build your own 'pede. You just need a can-do attitude and a staple gun.

Imagine what the world would be like if you could all try and be a little more like Martin.

'Pede II is grittier, gorier and more intense than the first one, with a higher body count and a longer centipede. In places it plays more like a traditional slasher movie.  It streams on Hulu Plus.
