Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Ice   (+15, -1)  [vote for, against]

One of the most horrifying movies ever made, based on a true story (I think) is now coming to you as an ice skating theatrical.

More like "inspired by" than "based upon" - no chainsaws in the original. [DrCurry, Feb 28 2005]

Viewer digression, maybe?

Never saw the remake of the movie, but the original was scary/great! "C'mon kids, put on your Sunday best, we're going to the Ice Capades--they're performing 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'!"

I'd rather see Evil Dead 2 on ice.
-- jaksplat, Feb 28 2005


I would pay good money to see a skater do a triple flip with a chainsaw.
-- MrDaliLlama, Feb 28 2005


No chain saws, no horrifying carbon monoxide fumes.
-- mensmaximus, Feb 28 2005


Careful with that chainsaw on the Ice... :P
-- NeoPiter, Feb 28 2005


A new cast every show?
-- wagster, Feb 28 2005


Bloody Ice skatings dangerous enough without adding chainsaws to the mix. Nearly dislocated my arse last time I went.

Didn't the creator of 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'claim that he was in a hardware store, there were tonnes of people there, he looked up, and - voila! Chainsaw! 'I bet if I had one of those I could get out very easily...' He thought menacingly to himself...

The original owner of the ice rink wasn't very open minded to the idea... Then he suddenly disappeared. I suppose the new owners are a lot more clear-headed to this masterpeice... (ie, they decided that you can't win an argument with someone who has a chainsaw. Can't imagine why!)

Will this have real blood?

<Doctor approaches etherman who is lying prone on a hospital bed> "Well Mr. Etherman, you appear to have a dislocated arse. Nothing to worry about, we'll just have Nurse Sadist pop it back in for you and you'll be right as rain in no time."

And me, my arse and the Nursie lived Happily Ever After.

Igors would certainly help (From the Discworld books)
-- DesertFox, Feb 28 2005


Even better- "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Musical On Ice"
-- k_sra, Feb 28 2005


can they do ice sculptures live?
-- theircompetitor, Feb 28 2005


The simple thought of ice skaters in pain is wonderful. [+]
-- darkboy115, Feb 28 2005


Carcer (from another Discworld novel) would make a great chainsaw murderer.
-- froglet, Feb 28 2005


Ahhh. Night Watch. 1st Terry Pratchett book I ever read.
-- DesertFox, Feb 28 2005


"Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Ice, on Ice" - Communicating, through the medium of ice dancing, the idea of performing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre as an ice dancing spectacle.

What [jaksplat] wrote.

Bun for evil on ice.
-- skinflaps, Feb 28 2005


Darkboy115: Most skaters (and athletes in general) spend their lives in pain already..
-- ayt, Feb 28 2005


How about having it as a floorshow in a Greek restaurant. Texas chainsaw moussaka.
-- Basepair, Feb 28 2005


I was thinking of the possibilities of a musical. Very amusing. :)
-- DesertFox, Mar 01 2005


Viewer disection?

I thought they called this 'Hockey.'
-- RayfordSteele, Mar 01 2005


This could possibly replace the NHL.
-- MrDaliLlama, Mar 01 2005


"Halloween on Ice", with horror themes, has been done (see link). May have featured death spirals and death drops.
-- robinism, Mar 01 2005


Now seen on TV in segments.
-- mensmaximus, Mar 01 2005


I understand blood can bounce on ice. Not a hockey fan. I have never seen it. A google of the term found many hits, but no explanation of what might be involved. But if this is true, clearly it would be an integral part of this production.

Now THIS is good.

Only if there is singing, ballet, and ooooooooooooohh

The man in the mask is so terribly near
but the girl with the gun has no reason to fear
for the hard boiled detective can see very clear
now that his old beau has poured out all his beer

No worries in houses that smell like old dust
the creaking and clinking of fence-gates with rust
for we all know by hist'ry of seeing her bust
she's the love interest and dying of lust

With comedy, drama, and songs very trite
all plot holes and loopholes and ew, what a sight
of death and dismemberment, look at their pliiiiiiiight
Of darkness and fear we can always make light.
