hey bro last night was really fun, i felt my inner flower bloom in your presence. sadly the only butterfly species with a long enough proboscis went extinct long ago. but i saw you ate that fruit cup without cutlery so maybe not all hope is lost

The Mountain Goats recently made a song about a famous moment in found footage horror history that I've written about on here before. In 1985, a full 14 years before "The Blair Witch Project" introduced the mainstream to found footage horror, a really gory found footage movie called "Guinea Pig 2: Flower of Flesh and Blood" was released in Japan. This faux snuff film eventually made its way into the VHS tape trading underground of the United States, where, several years after its release, a copy found its way into the hands of a young actor by the name of Charlie Sheen.

Sheen watched the movie and, believing it to be a genuine version of the snuff film that it's pretending to be, alerted the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI apparently took the movie seriously until they found a documentary about the making of the movie that detailed how they did their gore effects.

I lead the agents back to the screening room And in the dark, we watch the blood flowers bloom And then the credits seem to roll on forever I know people who can find out who put this thing together After a while, one of them said "Listen, Charlie, you're from Hollywood And the moving pictures aren't what they used to be, it's true But I'm not sure what you think the Bureau can do?" "Gentlemen, the camera doesn't lie How many more innocent women must die?"
