MASTERS OF HORROR: The Washingtonians

The Founding Fathers are all Free Masons...and Washington D.C. is built in the shape of a Pentagram. And what about the Pyramid and the "All seeing eye" on the dollar bill??? And then there is the Egyptian Obelisk called the Washington Monument??? For a Christian nation, these symbols should be considered paganism. These folks are all satanists.

Benjamin Franklin had bodies buried in, and around his house...this is a historical fact. Was he a serial killer, a grave robber...or into ritual sacrifice...or something else even more sinister??? So, it makes me wonder, is this Masters Of Horror segment just an interesting horror tale, or the actual truth about something real???

P.S.-Even the Pilgrims resorted to cannibalism...so, maybe there is more than meets the eye here!!!

I have to rent this series, it sounds really good.

I've never heard of that particular Ben Franklin legend. I'll have to see if I can find anything on it. Maybe he wasn't the one actually holding the kite string for all those electrical experiements?

The Ben Franklin thing is an historical fact. He was also suspected of being a traitor, a double agent if you will, who was working in league with the Red Coats...the latter of which I believe may also have been a fact. I certainly know that the suspicion of the latter is factual...whether there is conclusive evidence that he was a traiter or not, I can't say.

Now...as with respect to the fore, dead bodies were found all over the place under the floor boards of Ben Franklin's house, much like the movie Disturbia. This would include the bodies of children and others.

I just looked it up. The link above is actually an excerpt from an article from the London Sunday Times. It looks like Ben's buddy was a medical doctor who ran a school. They suspect that Ben let his doctor friend use his house to bury the illegal cadavers commonly used at the time in teaching. This is where a lot of those old 'science vs faith' arguments come from in those old gothic horror stories. Men of science felt frustrated that they couldn't experiment on dead bodies in order to save live ones.

I liked this episode when I saw it. A good horror/comedy feel to it. I especially liked the ending with George W. Bush on the new one-dollar bill. But the gore wasn't as plenty as the review says. I'd like to believe that Washington really was a cannibal, or Ben Franklin was a killer. It could very well have been true. Possiblities. Think about it.

Maybe I missed something, but I though this episode was one of the worst episodes of the series down there with the deer woman episode and Homecoming.

I don't know if you missed anything. Black comedy isn't for everyone, I suppose.

I am a fan of black comedy, but this episode was just stupid.
