If you have ever wanted to see British soft-core porn mashed up with the story of #BurkeAndHare complete with a 70s cheesy theme tune, then you want some strange things. There is no horror and there are no laughs either. #HorrorMovies #SexComedy #HorrorComedy #70shorror #BritishHorror

Aquí es donde el capitalismo más oscuro entró en juego. William Burke y William Hare decidieron que, si no había muertos naturales, ellos mismos los fabricarían. 💀🩺

Burke and Hare have nothing on Badger 1 and Badger 2. We were missing Badger 3 though.

Did you know Burke and Hare weren’t actually grave robbers? They murdered people and sold the bodies. But here’s the part history usually skips: their wives knew more than they let on.

That eerie gap is where my novel began.

Burke & Hare Two of the most notorious figures in the history of medicine, William Burke and William Hare were a pair of enterprising street thugs who provided anatomical specimens to the Edinburgh Medical College—often by robbing the graves of the recently dead, sometimes through even more nefarious methods. Derren Nesbitt and Glynn Edwards bring these two scoundrels to life in Burke & Hare, a colorful, early-’70s rendition of life in the taverns, brothels and surgical theatres of 1820s Scotland. While other filmmakers have treated the Burke and Hare murders as a source of Gothic horror, director Vernon Sewell (The Blood Beast Terror) offers a playful spin on the Irish body snatchers, blending dark comedy with bawdy eroticism, seasoning it with the grotesque, then crowning it with a playful theme song by the pop band The Scaffold.Special Features:• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian/ Screenwriter Gary Gerani• Grave Desires: Corpses on Film – Interview with Dr. Patricia MacCormack• Interview with Actress Françoise Pascal• Theatrical Trailer• Optional English Subtitles

behaviour since his condemnation, and on the Scaffold.

croud of spectators, from all places of the surrounding country, to witness the execution

of a Monster, whose crime stands unparalleled in the annals of Scotland : viz.?for cruelly

murdering Margery M'Conegal, and afterwards selling her body to the Doctors in Octo-

ber last.

 

Whilst this unhappy man was under sentence, he made the following Confession:?that

he had been engaged in this murderous traffic from Christmas, 1827, until the murder of

the woman Docherty, or M'Conegal, in October last; during which period, he had but-

chered Sixteen of his fellow-creatures, and that he had no accomplice but Hare,?that

they perpetrated these fearful atrocities by suffocation.
