Name That Trauma :: Marie of Agent Lover on a Patchwork Man

February 7th, 2011 by aunt john · 9 Comments

Hello comrades!

I have always thought about writing you guys about this certain movie I saw when I was probably ten or so (I’m 29 now) that really weirded me out. I’ve Googled until my hands have bled and asked numerous people everywhere, even via my blog if they know what the eff I’m talking about but NO LUCK! I’m beginning to think I dreamed this up…but I know I haven’t!

So here it is…

It was this movie where a man was locked up in some kind of room for observation. He skin was stitched up of all kinds of different shades, sort of like a Patchwork Man (which is what I always thought this movie might be called but my research has come up with NUTHIN’.) If I remember correctly he was supposed to be “the answer to racism.” I think he was screaming or crying in this mental hospital looking environment.

That’s all I remember! I hope you guys can help put my mind at ease after ALL THESE YEARS!!

– Marie

UPDATE: NAME THAT TRAUMA SOLVED! Unk has this one sewn up with MR. STITCH!

I just remembered a movie called “Mr Stitch” with Rutger Hauer. Could this be it…

Has to be “Mr. Stitch.” At least it was the first thing that jumped to my mind, too. So it must be right. Right?

All I could think of originally was the poster for “Frankenstein Unbound” but then all of the sudden this morning I remembered the VHS cover art of “Mr. Stitch” from my days in the video store mines. Hope this is it!

AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! It has to be Mr. Stitch! I just can’t believe it was out in 1995 so I had to have seen it when I was a teenager. My memory was totally wrong, I could have sworn I was around ten when I saw it! Hahahaha.

Also NIA PEEPLES!! Amazing. Thanks again mi amigos!
