01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In the 1800s, Pierre (Maurice Good), a phrenologist, robs the grave of the recently buried Marquis de Sade. He takes the Marquis's severed head and sets about boiling it to remove its flesh, leaving the skull. Before the task is done, Pierre meets an unseen and horrific death.
