I take it you haven't seen Splinter then. It's got a female to spiky-mutant-monster-conjoinment theme going on. Not much process, but it still makes for a totally fantastic horror


I for one am looking forward to Trick 'r Treat.

It's an okay horror film, but it's not a transformation. It looks like one, but it's not.

(spoiler warning for those who haven't seen the film)







Okay, the splinter parasite burrows into a host and starts eating them from the inside out. What it seems to really eat is the blood in the veins, and even blood that's spilled onto the ground. It's movements under the flesh causes the body to contort into shapes it can't normally make which breaks the victim's bones and tears their flesh. They can apparently survive in this state for several hours before it's torn them up so badly that they die. Even after the host dies the creature continues to move around, continues to grow, feed etc. The person is dead, extremely dead, just chunks of meat that are stuck to the splinter creature. It consumes them as it moves around, and it apparently needs food to grow or move at all. That's why it attached those bodies together, just something to feed on and grow through. It doesn't transform a person, it just tears them to pieces while it eats them from within. As it moves inside a person it looks as though they're alive and moving.. but once you get close enough to see their face and realize they're dead you're in range for it to lash out at you using them limbs of the person it's currently eating.

Not a transformation, it's just corpses stapled together with bits of flesh eating wood.

Ooooh. Splinter is something that I haven't heard of before, and I don't believe I've ever heard of a horror plot that involved evil sentient wood. I'm going to have to find that.

I wouldn't call it sentient. It seems pretty mindless, it'll attack anything warm.

I know everyone is going to hate for me for this, but SAW had perfect TFs (and it was an OK movie series when the old guy was around). It turns a guy into a bloody pancake in Saw 5.

Yes, I know. I hate myself for this.

YES! Been hoping for this for a while now. It looked like a good horror movie regardless of the TFs Thanks for the info Soda.

I prefer Abebooks for my online book purchases. I checked and they did already have it.. it just doesn't often give a good explanation of what anything is.

The book has a couple of make-up photos and some production art. The attached pretty much covers it.
