ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did you get the idea for The Human Centipede (First Sequence)?
TOM SIX: I saw a child molester on television and I said, ‘They should stitch this guy with his mouth to the a–– of a very fat truck driver. It would be a really good punishment for him.” Then I thought, “That’s a cool idea for a film.”
Was it easy to get finance?
TS: We made films in Holland before and so we had a group of investors. We told them we want to make an international horror film and we’re going to stitch people together. We left out the words “mouth-to-a––,” because we knew they wouldn’t fund it. If I had mentioned “a––-to-mouth,” I think they would have said, “Have a nice day, bye!” But they have seen the film and they loved it. So the trick worked very well, fortunately.
