While I admit that I never actually had the
guts to watch it (stealth pun), the infamous 2010 horror movie,
The Human Centipede from weirdo Dutch director and Freudian nightmare,
Tom Six, has apparently inspired an 8-bit retro homage featuring a mashup of the film's lurid (to say the least) subject matter with the classic Atari 1981 arcade game, Centipede. In the odd fecal fetish flick, a German mad scientist sews together several humans,
ass to mouth, in order to create the titular human centipede, and although I did manage to stomach the trailer, the reasons for this bizarre experiment were never really made clear, at least not to me. If you aren't familiar with the concept of the vintage Atari game, it's basically a top to bottom reflex-shooter in the same vein of
Space Invaders or
Galaga, except the bad guys are bugs, not aliens, while in the mashup version the insects have been replaced by low-res depictions of characters from the movie. Gross, but pretty damned funny.
