Inmate 49


Well. We found Inmate 49 today. He has been missing for thirty-two days. We heard rumors. Nothing extremely bad. We were thankful for that. His history, you know, is somewhat chaotic. He also had the June 1987 issue of TIME magazine next to him. It was open to an article on genetics. Disturbing notes had been written in the margins. They were in Inmate 49's handwriting. The final note at the end of the article said, "All true. They do not know. They soon will. 2008." That is quite troubling. You see, Inmate 49 was a scientist before his incarceration. His area of expertise was the human genome. What was he doing for that time? After we got him back to the Asylum we conducted a thorough examination of him. We discovered faint traces of human dna in his clothes that were not his. He wouldn't answer any of our questions. And we didn't try any extreme measures of interrogation on him. We knew it would be a wasted effort. After all, we're not crazy people here at the Asylum. We don't take much pleasure in the pain of others. Discomfort? Now, there's a different situation. We'll just have to keep a better eye on this one. Dr. Tarr thinks we should remove the rest of his spleen. That is looking like an excellent option. We'll give it a little more time before we break out the tools. Heh heh. Just kidding. We would never hurt Inmate 49. After all, we're not crazy around here, right?
So. I think we're back on track with feedin' THE FEED. We've got a new episode ready to launch tomorrow night. We're also working on a new EL REPTILICO'S SONG PICK OF THE WEAK. It's gonna make you chuckle. El Reptilico can fill you in when you watch the clip.
We also have a few more audio files of Poe poems just about ready to add to Eddie's Place. We have a few other surprises coming up in Eddie's Place. Like a writing contest. And here's the catch. The winners will actually receive cash and merchandise as prizes. Keep tuned here or THE S'NEWSLETTER for further details.
Time to head out. I want to watch the movie that's gonna start tomorrow night: LEGACY OF BLOOD. And it also premieres our short film IN SEARCH OF THE REFFITT SWAMP MONSTER. Oh yes, our little trek to Uncle Ray's last summer. You know you can't miss that!

Sir Graves Ghastly


It's with heavy heart that I report the death of one of my long-time heroes, Sir Graves Ghastly. Sir Graves, whose real name was Lawson Deming. Rising out of his coffin, Sir Graves presented classic films such as Dracula and Frankenstein on WJBK in Detroit from 1967 until September 1983. He was orginally on late Friday nights but moved to Saturday afternoons. His closing line was "Happy haunting" combined with an evil laugh. Lawson Deming, was happily retired and living in Ohio until his death at 94 last week. I was a faithful fan of his for almost his entire run on WJBK. It was the highlight of my Saturday afternoons to watch his show. He is one of the reasons I decided to carry on the tradition of horror hosting. I'll miss you, Sir Graves. All I can say is "Happy haunting" to you. R.I.P.

Kurt Vonnegut Gone!

One of the world's literary giants of the 20th century is gone. The author behind such masterpieces as "Slaughterhouse-Five," "Breakfast of Champions," and "Cat's Cradle" has been one of my favorite writers for many years. I will miss his wit and insight. On a personal note, I once wrote to Mr. Vonnegut many years ago asking his permission to name a band "Kilgore Trout." To my amazement and pure, unadulterated joy, I received a letter back from him granting permission to use the name. I still have that letter. It's one of my most prized possessions. I have formed several incarnations of KILGORE TROUT as a musical group over the years. I recently started putting another version together. The irony wouldn't be lost on Mr Vonnegut.

Good-by, Kurt. As you were so fond of saying, "And so it goes."

Kurt Vonnegut's novels
• "Player Piano," 1952
• "The Sirens of Titan," 1959
• "Mother Night," 1962
• "Cat's Cradle," 1963
• "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater," 1965
• "Slaughterhouse-Five," 1969
• "Breakfast of Champions,"
1973.
• "Slapstick," 1976
• "Jailbird," 1979 .
• "Deadeye Dick," 1983
• "Galápagos," 1985
• "Bluebeard," 1988
• "Hocus Pocus," 1990
• "Three Complete Novels," 1995
• "Timequake," 1997

The Search Is Almost Over!!

Where to begin, fellow Inmates, where to begin. At the beginning? But where was the beginning. Did I not already chronicle the beginning? Or was it the middle. I know it was not the end. Not even close. Let me gather my thoughts.

My last missive left me in the catacombs beneath the Asylum. I had run out of food. I decided to eat some of the safe mushrooms. Safe. Whatever made me think there were “safe” mushrooms in the depths of the catacombs and caverns beneath the Asylum?

I found several mushrooms and ate them. Amazingly refreshed, I continued my search for the missing Dr. Tarr. The mushrooms were incredible. They revitalized me. They made me feel as if I could go on with the search forever if need be. I felt like I could do anything. All my senses were heightened. I felt like I could accomplish anything.

I stared at the walls as I walked. What had once appeared to be roughly hewn passages carved out of the earth started to morph into pictograms. Very detailed pictograms. I became amazed at the fact that they were of human odditites: freaks. But some were of creatures that were definitely not human. Some were humanoid. Some were caricatures of humans. Some were not human at all. I smiled as I slowly made my way down the corridor, my face inches from the wall, my eyes taking in the minutest of details. These were scenes from carny life. The Old Life. The ancient mixing of the Old Ways and the New. The constant remixing of the Ways, the winding paths, the intricately twisting corridors – just as I was walking down this corridor, following the pathways on the walls.
I stopped and look ahead, my eyes, my mind now drawn to a bright glow coming from around the next bend. I looked back at the walls. The now were nothing more than walls hacked out of the earth. The trail had led me here.

I moved around the bend. I stopped. A shimmering light that constantly changed hues blocked the corridor. I moved up to it. I stared intently at the wall of light. I found that if I concentrated hard enough I could barely make out the other side. But the other side was not just more tunnel. Constantly changing scenes played out behind the curtain of multi-colored light. I watched several scenes, none of which were the same length. I also noted that the scenes looked like they were coming from bad television reception: fading in and out, sporadic static, video snow.

Fascinated, I stood there for several minutes watching. Suddenly a scene appeared that looked really familiar. Just as it dissolved into another scene, I realized it was a scene from a movie. Another scene was from an old television show. The next scene was the real surprise. I was certain Dr. Tarr appeared in one of the scenes. But just as I recognized him, he disappeared.

I watched for Tarr through several more scenes. One of them was a quite extended scene from THE KILLER SHREWS. I thought it would never end. Tarr appeared soon thereafter. I was in for another surprise. Tarr was inside a scene from SANTA SANGRE.

Needless to say, I was stunned. I knew what I had to do. I turned around and started the journey back to the Asylum.

Many long hours later I came to the ladder that led up into the Asylum cellar. I was weak from hunger and thirst as I refused to partake of anything in the labyrinth below for fear of what it would do to my mind. I even wore a mask to filter the air. Spores, you know.

I stopped the first nurse I came to and directed her to see to it that I got a hot meal delivered to my room in eight hours. I asked about Nurse Feratu. Nurse Feratu was locked in the her room. Something about not getting the respect she deserved around here. Nothing I hadn’t heard before. I knew she would eventually come out of it, so I left her to her own devices.

I made it to my quarters. I took a long hot shower. I climbed into my bed. I was asleep before I knew it. Does the story pause here? No, fellow Inmates, it doesn’t. I had a dream…

I was back in the tunnel staring at the shimmering, multi-colored wall of light. To my horror, I started to walk toward the light. I tried to stop myself but failed. Panic ripped through my mind but I couldn’t make it translate into physical action. I moved through the curtain of light.

Everything looked faded and a bit jerky. I realized it was because I was in an old movie that had obviously been spliced many many times. I looked down at my body. It looked like the rest of the scene I was in. I was actually in the scene. Now, here’s the dilemma, fellow Inmates: I couldn’t tell which aspect of my consciousness was the dreaming part. Try as I might I couldn’t be sure.

I looked around. The scene looked familiar but I couldn’t quite place it. I stood in the town square. It was a beautiful summer afternoon. Several people walked by, each smiling and nodding a greeting to me. At first I tried to be snide and droll, but it always came out as a smile and/or a not, with an occasional “Very well, thank you.” All very disconcerting in one part of my mind (was that the part that was or was not dreaming?), and perfectly natural and logical in the rest.

Suddenly I heard a very familiar sound in the distance. It was the sweet and sassy sound of a calliope – with just the hint of something dark, something wicked. And it was coming this way. I grinned in anticipation. I knew what movie I was in. But it wasn’t the Disney movie. This was another movie based much more closely on the Ray Bradbury book. I knew this must be my own visual interpretation of the story. Just as the music got louder and the first performers rounded the corner, I started to feel very strange. Everything started to distort and fade in and out. I suddenly found myself in the tunnel staring at the shimmering screen of multi-colored light.

Panic set in. I had thought I was dreaming, but I was really back in the corridor in some sort of trance, probably induced by the mushrooms I had eaten. The tunnel faded into blackness.

Eight hours later, I was awakened by an aide who had brought my breakfast. It was one of the best meals I had ever had. I was famished.

After finishing the meal, I headed for the study. I knew what I had to do.

I entered the study and was heartened to see Head Doctor sitting atop the television. I approached him.

“Ah, Professor Fether,” Head Doctor said through the speakers located on the TV. “I have been expecting you. I have exactly what you need.”

The snowy image on the television screen resolved into that of a strange box with flashing lights and dials gracing its countenance. I shot a questioning look at Head Doctor.

“This machine is a Chronsynclasticinfundibulism Teleportation Enhancer device,” Head Doctor said in anticipation of my question. “You will be able to locate and retrieve Dr. Tarr with this machine.”

Ecstatic, I grinned. “I knew you’d come through, H. D. Where is this machine?”

The image on the TV screen pulled back to reveal the machine as it sat inside a cluttered room.

“This room is located in the back of the Asylum. I don’t believe you’ve ever been in this room. I will see to it that it is unlocked.”

“Thanks, H.D. I’ll head out to get the machine right away,” I said as I started to leave the study.

“There is one problem,” Head Doctor said. I stopped and looked at him, shaking my head. What a devious fellow! There always seemed to be a catch. “This device was created by a doctor who was quite insane. He lived in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. The machine is calibrated to only function in the greater Cleveland area. You will have to go there in order for the device to work properly.”

My previous grin came back. “Ah, that’s not a problem! I will be in the Cleveland area in a couple of weeks. I will be attending the upcoming Cinema Wasteland convention.”

Head Doctor rocked back and forth in his jar. “Yes, Professor, I am quite aware of that. This I why I knew this course of action was the best one to take.”

H.D. always seemed to be one step ahead of me. I nodded. “Should have known. Thanks, again, H.D. And wish me luck.”

“Luck has nothing to do with it,” H.D. called as I left the study.
So, fellow Inmates, I have retrieved the Chronosynclasticinfundibulsim Teleportation Enhancer device from the storage room. I will take it with me to the upcoming Cinema Wasteland convention. I will attempt to bring Dr. Tarr back to this reality at the Saturday Night Horror Host Show. I am sure I will succeed! It will be good to have Dr. Tarr back.

In the meat time, Fellow Inmates,

LET THE OPERATION BEGIN!!

Spies, Rabbits and the Missing Tarr


Hoi, Fellow Inmates, it's time for another episode of Psycho Cinema. This episode is SPIES A GO-GO, also known as NASTY RABBIT. It's a real humdinger, let me tell ya. Hey, we did manage to add our own bits of insanity and humor to the movie so it's not all bad. It's stars Arch Hall Jr., one of our favorite teen heart throbs of the 1960s. Made in 1964, it's a spy spoof that actually has some moments of mirth in it. Go figure! Anyway, come on over to the FEED and get ready to laugh your paws off.

Now, back to the Search for Dr. Tarr. I am still wandering through the maze of tunnels, rooms and caves below the Asylum. I have several more clues leading me to believe Tarr is somewhere down here. I'll give a more detailed update later. Right now I'm quite tired and need to rest. I am also out of food. There are plenty of mushrooms growing down here, though. I supposed I shall have to eat a few to keep up my strength. I believe the purple ones are safe. We shall see.

SPIDER BABIES and the SEARCH FOR DR. TARR

FETHER HERE. Another episode of PSYCHO CINEMA is in the air. A brief respite from reality. A journey into a fictitious world where there will be a beginning and and end.

I am wandering through the labyrinth below the Asylum. I started a few days ago. I equipped myself and began the search for Tarr.

I started on the uppermost level, designated Upper Level Three This is where the extreme patients are housed. Caged is a far better word. These are creatures whose sole (soul?) purpose is to destroy all others. Tarr and I have done some interesting experiments with a few of these Inmates. They are quite troublesome, though, as they are far more often sedated than not. We do prefer the ones who seem to be content with reality no matter what that reality is. But I digress. I looked into every cell. No Tarr. (He does often enter a cell and cohabit with that cell's Inmate, sometimes for days at a time.)

Nurse Feratu quickly checked Upper Level Two. This is the Commons. Here is housed seventy-five patients, all deemed non-violent submissives. This is a communal area: dormitory-style sleeping quarters, open area bathing facilities, several restraint cells (yes, even these patients occasionally need to be restrained). No Dr. Tarr.

We checked Level One. This level includes the reception area, the kitchen, and several rooms devoted to either laboratory work or operating rooms. The room with The Chair is located near the back of the building. This is one of Tarr's favorite places to go when he's bored. Okay, me too. We know a good thing when we find one! Nothing. No Tarr.

Next came Sub Level One, or the basement. This is primarily storage for such items that can be used on short notice. It also houses the power plant of the Asylum. I stopped and broke bread with Ted, the Chief Engineer. Ted is a large fellow, quite hirsute, surely and a man of few words. A good leader. Knows how to keep the workers in step with our Program. The Room of Discipline is also on this level.There are thirty-three rooms to search. It takes Nurse Feratu and I several hours to go through this area. Nothing.

Sub Level Two. Nurse Feratu and I part at the steps leading down. She will be in charge of the Asylum above while I search down here. Luckily I have a companion: Socko. Neither of us really wants to venture into the depths below the Asylum. We've both been down here before. After you get so far, it's not very pleasant. There are places where OLD INMATES dwell. And...things that have no semblance to humanity. Animals. Proto-volves, aka Hybrids. Subjects of strange experiments, many of which are considered failures. Some are quite violent and unreasoning. Dangerous. Oddly enough, I find myself in a somewhat exhilarated state. Adreneline courses through me. Oh yes. That feels good. That is a feeling I haven't had in quite some time. The thrill of THE HUNT comes back to me.

Sub Level Two marks the beginning of the "partially finished" area of the Asylum. It's construction is crude but sturdy, made from stone and mortar. Meant to last forever. It's as if to say "it doesn't matter what happens above this point. All is not lost." This area consists of small rooms that are completely devoid of content. These rooms are made completely out of stone and mortar. Fireproof. Thick enough to withstand indirect explosions with impunity. Very ingenious. Easy to search. No Tarr. Ah, but now the story changes. At the entrance to Sub Level Three, I find a clue. Tarr has scratched his name into the wall along with the date: 1/20/07. Yes. Tarr has ventured down into the depths below the Asylum. This obvious clue is puzzling. I think he has unconsciously realized that this time he's goin to need some help. I continue on.

Sub Level Three consists of a series of roughly carved tunnels and rooms. Each room has a heavy iron door. Each is triple locked. They are unique in that they can only be locked from the outside. I don't have the keys to these rooms. There is no record of these keys and none of the staff knows where they are. Nevertheless, I check every door. They are all locked. There is no way Tarr could be in one of these rooms. I move on to the entrance to Sub Level Four.

Getting into Sub Level Four is a secret process. Head Doctor revealed to us how to get into this level. This is the last level where Head Doctor has eyes and ears. Or so I think, though oftentimes I wonder what transpires in that elecronic brain - and beyond. How far can he truly see? Is this information he has kept hidden from us? Sometimes I think Head Doctor, who is primarily Tarr's creation, has evolved beyond the limits we tried to incorporate in him when he was created. He scares me sometimes. I usually just try to put him out of my mind. I hope he's not in my mind. This level is comprised of a series of what appear to be natural tunnels and caves, some quite spectacular. A strange glowing fungus graces many of the walls, though not all of them, thus keeping the area in a gloomy state. I consider getting out the lantern but decide that there is enough light for now. Save the lantern in case I come to a really dark area. I wave at one of the known pairs of Head Doctor Eyes. With an almost imperceptible whir, they move to focus directly on me. It would be the last I saw before entering the next level. Oh yes, did I mention the mushrooms start appearing on this level? I do know Tarr has mentioned the mushrooms. Tarr is fond of the mushrooms. I hoped to find him on this level. I did not find Tarr on that level. I found someone else: Eloise and Jacob. Here's how it happened.

I made my way through most of Sub Level Four. Nearing the area where the entrance to the next level resided, I rounded a corner and nearly collided with a woman and a man. They were both in their sixties - or so they appeared. I vaguely recollected they had been much older the last time we met. Anyway, they were in no way remarkable as judged by normal standards. Ah, appearances are such fickle criteria to use as a standard of judgement. Yet we are all susceptible to that most instant of appraisals, aren't we? At any rate, I knew them for what they were: one of the most horrifying homicidal couplings in history. Or so they thought. They did have several heinous deeds attributed to their past conduct, but that was nothing compared to today's standard fare. But that did not make them any the less dangerous. I activated The Shock-Knucks(tm) Dr. Tarr had invented as I smiled most cordially and gave a slight bow to the couple.

"Well, well, well, Martha," said Jacob, "I do believe I remember this fellow. Do you remember him, my dear?"

"Why yes I do, my sweet, I do," the woman said as she gently touched the man's arm. "Professor Fether is it not?"

"Good evening," I said. "I hope you are both feeling well this fine evening?"

They looked pleasantly surprised at my remarks. I have learned how to play this game. I've been through here a few times. Still, though, it is a very delicate game and one must pay strict attention to what is being said and what is being done. The Shock-Knucks(tm) are meant to be used as a last resort. I keep them hidden.

"What brings you to our neighborhood?" Jacob asked.

"I am only passing through," I replied. "I am on my way to pay tribute below."

They looked at each other and nodded knowingly. They looked back at me.

"We understand, Professor Fether," Eloise/Martha said. A glint flashed briefly in her eyes. "We aren't quite what you think we are. You amuse us. We recognise a kindred soul. That is your Grace."

I smiled. It's a cold smile, though. I can't help it. Dominance will out. I held up my left hand. The Shock-Knucks(tm) were quite apparent on my clenched fist.

"Yes," I said, "By your Grace."

Keeping my eye on them, I made my way to the entrance to the next level. I was not surprised to find another clue. One of Tarr's gloves. He would never knowingly leave one of his gloves. He cannot abide the touch of blood on his hands. My suspicions have been confirmed. Tarr ate some mushrooms. He is starting to shed his outter appearance. This will continue for some time as he surely has several more secreted about his person. I must find him soon. He is venturing into very dangerous areas.

Sub Level Five. This is where reality becomes much more ambiguous -- if that's possible. Time to rest, here at the entrance to Sub Level Five. I will need my wits from here on out.

SPIDER BABY. Wish I could settle back and watch a good movie. Not tonight. Tonight Socko and I take turns standing watch. Sub Level Five awaits.

UPDATE


Just thought I'd drop a note that we've updated the Psycho Cinema website. We've added several more stories to EDDIE'S PLACE. I hope to have the rest of THE MASTER'S material online by the end of the month. Of course, that's if I get back from my search for Dr. Tarr in time. I am due to begin my quest later today. I have put most of my affairs in order. Nurse Feratu has vowed to "hold down the fort." We'll see how that goes.
So. It's off to find the good Doctor Tarr.
Wish me luck.
[Where did I put my cain? I can't travel without my cain. And a lantern. I really should have a lantern. And a gun...but I don't have a gun. Scratch that. Umm, perhaps some rope. And a helmet. Well, and maybe one or two hats. One can never have too many hats. And a water bottle. And a bit of food. Just in case. And a compass. Oh yes, definitely a compass. Let me see, what else do I need to gather before my journey...]

Where is Dr. Tarr?

Socko...er, Professor Fether here. Well, Tarr is missing again. Only this time he has vanished from the asylum and its grounds. There are ways to the outside, though. Ways only Tarr and I know. I've searched everywhere several times. He did go missing that time he was down in the area beneath the asylum. I have ventured into them for a short distance but have been reluctant to go any further. Tarr's accounts of his journey into that nether region were quite vivid. Something inside me, though, tells me he's not down there. This thing tells me he's Out There. I will head back down into the labyrinth below this place one more time to look for him. I will prepare myself for the journey. From all accounts I will be venturing into Hell itself. But I will make the effort for Dr. Tarr. I will make the effort...

Swimming in the Stream

HOI, FELLOW INMATES! We've finally managed to get our act together (no comments!) and are now streaming the PSYCHO CINEMA WEB TV SHOW. Our first streaming episode is the very funny rock and roll "cautionary" film ROCK AND ROLL EULOGY, written and directed by newcomer Zach Clark. And the response has been fantastic - both for the streaming and the movie. So come on over to the website and check out ROCK AND ROLL EULOGY. You'll be glad you did! And while you're visiting THE FEED, be sure and check out the interview we did with Zach. It's also a sreaming (audio) file. And remember...
