Tartarus VII

Script for today: Page 19 Extreme close-up view of Taylor from the front, where we see her hands undoing the top button on her shirt. CAPTION: I do as I am told. Close-up view from the back, of Taylor undoing the hooks on her brassiere. Close up view from the front, showing Taylor sliding her […]

Tartarus V

Script for today: Page 13 Taylor being lifted out of the tank by a large pair of grippers.  She is streaked with variuos kinds of mess. CAPTION: We all have rather ugly coatings of bodily fluids by the time the evening’s entertainment is over. Taylor (with others) is standing on a conveyor belt.  Jets of […]

Gearheading

A commenter on my recent post on Flatliners nobly and rightly rose to a defense of the reputation of Chicago against its depiction in that movie. Ve mentioned therein the Museum of Science and Industry as a distinguished local attraction, an assessment with which I was in entire agreement for, among other reasons, I was […]

Fu Manchu, mad scientist

You might recall a warning from a few days ago that when you go fetish fuel mining in old pop culture you might get a bit dirty.  That’s sort of how I feel about today’s post, but somehow I can’t resist the underlying material all the same. The character of Fu Manchu is one of […]

On making your own I

Over the next few days I’ll be posting a series of short essays urging people to their own Promethean acts, suggesting that they take a more active hand in creating their own erotica.  What could be more mad science than that?  Although of course the concept has rather ancient roots. (Image of Pygmalion and Galatea […]

Real world tubes

On a recent visit to a popular science museum of good reputation (name withheld to protect the innocent) I came across the following two artifacts in an exhibit on alternative energy which triggered mental associations with a meme often found here at EroticMadScience. and We gather our fetish fuel where we can, I guess. Now […]

Willie Wonka Mad Scientist VI

Mike Teavee’s fate at the other end of his teletransporter adventure is to be re-assembled — but not quite at the right scale.  In the 1971 adaptation this means a not-too-convincing front projection effect to show Mike to scale with his profoundly dismayed mother. Special effects technology had improved a lot by the time of […]

Willy Wonka Mad Scientist IV

In the 1971 adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, once each of the horrid children tumbles into their appropriate near-death trap, they drop out of the story and are not seen again.  We get only a verbal assurance from Willie Wonka that they will be okay.  (Should we trust that he’s telling the truth?) […]

Willy Wonka Mad Scientist III

Another of the horrid children nearly done in by Willy Wonka mad science is named Violet Beauregarde, who has a bad habit of excessive gum chewing.  She seizes a piece of experimental chewing gum –billed by Wonka as “a whole meal in a stick” — and promptly starts chewing it.  That would seem to be […]

Willy Wonka Mad Scientist II

If there are any among you who don’t know the core plot behind Roald Dahl‘s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or its various film adaptations, it is this.  Eccentric industrial chocolatier (and, as I would argue, first rate mad scientist) Willy Wonka sets up a world-wide lottery that picks five children (with one guardian each) […]
