A Little Off The Top

The cerebrum is the part of the brain that receives and processes conscious sensation, generates thought, and controls conscious activity. It is the uppermost and largest part of the brain and is divided into left and right hemispheres, which are joined by and communicated through the corpus callosum.

Night Of A Thousand Corpses

Man, there's so much here.  A Hell Hole with a sign saying as much (Hell's always open; even on Christmas).  A guillotine where the executioner paints 'Happy Halloween' with the latest victim's blood (assumption:  I'd hate to have my head chopped off with a blade that still had some other person's blood on it).  Floating eyeballs.  

And a smoking Coffin Creature with the biggest hands ever.  I'd run to this house every year if I lived nearby.  And you know the guy is known as Mr. Halloween.

The Modern Prometheus

Darkness had no effect upon my fancy, and a churchyard was to me merely the receptacle of bodies deprived of life, which, from being the seat of beauty and strength, had become food for the worm. Now I was led to examine the cause and progress of this decay and forced to spend days and nights in vaults and charnel-houses. My attention was fixed upon every object the most insupportable to the delicacy of the human feelings. I saw how the fine form of man was degraded and wasted; I beheld the corruption of death succeed to the blooming cheek of life; I saw how the worm inherited the wonders of the eye and brain. I paused, examining and analysing all the minutiae of causation, as exemplified in the change from life to death, and death to life, until from the midst of this darkness a sudden light broke in upon me—a light so brilliant and wondrous, yet so simple, that while I became dizzy with the immensity of the prospect which it illustrated, I was surprised that among so many men of genius who had directed their inquiries towards the same science, that I alone should be reserved to discover so astonishing a secret.
