00:00And all my years as a licensed mortician, I've never seen anything like this.
00:07That was ridiculous.
00:08I'm Osgood Perkins.
00:11I wrote and directed the upcoming motion picture called The Monkey I'm Here With.
00:16Theo James, one of the stars, and we're here with Matt and Heather, professional morticians.
00:20We're going to take a look at some clips from The Monkey, featuring some of the wild death
00:23sequences that we have.
00:31I assume a really sharp knife could do that.
00:34Oh, yeah.
00:35Really?
00:36Have you ever had a head?
00:37Yes.
00:38Absolutely.
00:39There's a famous case where the head was removed and then the woman's eyes followed the man
00:43around the room for like a couple of minutes.
00:45Is it a thing that a head keeps talking?
00:47No, absolutely not.
00:48You know, the last guillotine in France was in 1977.
00:52He was trampled by a stampede of 67 wild horses in a sleeping bag on a camping trip.
00:58It looked like someone had dropkicked a cherry on the tree.
01:01Would you be able to bury that with an open casket?
01:04Not quite.
01:05But say this happened, they bring the body to you and they say, we'd like to still do
01:08an open casket.
01:09What do you do?
01:10Sculpture.
01:11Yeah, put it inside the skin.
01:12Yeah.
01:13A friend of mine had to rebuild his face.
01:15Old skull.
01:16Holy shit.
01:18Oh, my god.
01:22Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:26That was ridiculous.
01:27So tell me, have you seen people dead as a result of electrocution?
01:30And what does it normally look like?
01:32Coloration in limbs.
01:33If you have direct contact electrical current, you might have a hand blow open or something
01:38like that.
01:39If the current goes through, it's got to come out somewhere.
01:41Well, we'll see.
01:42This is kinda...
01:43I've never seen a body part detach personally.
01:46Because of electricity.
01:47Doesn't mean it can't be true.
01:48I was expecting a drowning case.
01:50You're welcome. Surprise.
01:57There'd be that amount of arterial spray.
02:02He'd have to stay in there a long time.
02:04See, where's this gonna go?
02:05This is still painful.
02:10Happens every day.
02:11Okay.
02:15That would be a really spot-on rupture.
02:17Yeah, technically possible.
02:23You just set the constitute.
02:25Have you ever had the dead body expelling air?
02:27Do they fart?
02:28All the time.
02:29Worst smell in the world.
02:30The fart of a dead body is the worst smell in the world.
02:32That's what we've learned today.
02:33Go see The Monkey in theaters February 21st.
02:36We'll comp them tickets.
02:39We'd better.
02:41Come on, baby, let's have some fun.
