New Chuck Palahniuk Book "Snuff" Based On The Metro Movie "The World's Biggest Gang Bang III: The Houston 620"

Susannah Breslin has reviewed the new Chuck Palahniuk's novel, Snuff, whose main character, she says, is based on the Metro Movie "The World's Biggest Gang Bang III: The Houston 620."


The full review of Chuck Palahniuk's new novel, Snuff, is up at Radar.

Susannah says,
Snuff was of special interest to me because I was on the set of a gang bang movie, specifically: "The World's Biggest Gang Bang III: The Houston 620." And it's clear upon reading the book that it's this very movie that Palahniuk used as his primary source.

One of the three main male characters who tells the story is Mr. 72, a young man who's under the impression that he's the given up at birth son of the gang bangee Cassie Wright. He's come to the gang bang to meet his mother, you see. And he's come bearing a bouquet of flowers for her.

I had forgotten until I read that bit that at the real gang bang, "The Houston 620," there was just such a person. I interviewed him. He was young, and small, and he had brought flowers for Houston. He presented them to her. Everyone cooed. Then he had sex with her. As I recall, he stuck the tip of his tongue out a bit as he did so, like a kid tackling a particularly difficult problem in math class.

So, I'd venture to guess Houston is the real Cassie Wright, Mr. 72 was that kid, and the opening scene about eating at a buffet at a gangbang was probably yanked from this scene from Evan Wright's "Scenes from My Life in Porn."
