The Tales From The Darkside movie was a seminal moment in cementing my long pig fetish. My older brother had a VHS of it and I would watch the wraparound scenes every minute I could. I wanted to be that kid so badly. Except I would have preferred if her husband cooked me. It really made me feel like there was a chance I could actually be a longpig. After puberty I would JO to those scenes constantly, fantasizing I was going in that oven to cook. The nonchalant way she talks about cooking him still makes me hard to this day.
Cut to many years later, about a year after I graduated college. I moved to LA and I was constantly searching the internet for people with the same "tastes" as me. Over on the, sadly gone now, Zambian page I started messaging this guy who also lived in LA. We messaged back and forth spilling all our desires, that led to phone call RP sessions which were hot as hell. When he invited me to his house for RP IRL I quickly jumped at the chance. That day changed my life in so many ways. There was another guy there and we were to both take turns being "cooked." That is a whole other story that I will write about sometime.
After all of the first night's festivities, we were on his back deck drinking bourbon and spewing tales. I forgot to mention he had a huge house, and cock BTW, with a ton of trees and hedges for privacy. He told me he was a screenwriter for TV and film. I asked him if he had ever written any cannibal themed scripts. He asked if I had seen TFTD. My eyes popped out of my head and I told him what an impact that film made on me. He was a writer on the movie and was mainly responsible for the wraparound story that featured Debbie Harry as a woman planning a dinner party with the main course to be her newspaper delivery boy, currently in a hidden cage in the kitchen. Apparently they had first cast another lad who was plumper but when his father was on set and saw what they were going to do he pulled his kid from the project. One of the producers was friends with a woman who had two sons with film experience. She arrived the next day and they all agreed he was a perfect replacement, as do I. He said the kid was game for anything and a lot of fun on set.
Here's the hottest part, there were originally two other endings before they got to the one they used. Initially he wrote that the kid tries to escape but the woman catches him and gets him on a pan and into the stove with an apple in his mouth. The writer told me that no one knew of his proclivity and he couldn't believe they were even considering it. Of course, they don't really show any of his body except for a foot briefly his arms tied in the back for a second and a bit of the apple protruding from his mouth. And in fact it wasn't even him who was in those shots. My chef actually had copies of a bunch of the takes. They are incredible. It ended with Deb Harry and her husband at the head of the table and six of their friends seated at the table practically salivating. It is reminicent of the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting. There is a platter of carved meat with gravy and on the side is an apple with a teethmarks in it, which clearly looked like it had been in the piggy's mouth, and also his shirt hanging off her chair. Of course they couldn't show the cooked body but those two details were excellent replacements. The last line was Deb looking at the camera and saying, "Don't you just love a happy ending?" which is the line the kid says in the finished movie after he shoves her in the oven. There were a couple other scenes of the men drinking brandy and talking about hunting, etc that definitely insinuated LPs, and the women in the kitchen talking about what makes a delicious meal. When he showed me this scene I literally spurt in my pants. The next day I was on a spit in his backyard. But that's a story for another day.
If you've never seen the movie you should check it out. The whole wraparound section is also on YouTube.
