Plastinated scene from White Men Can't Jump Charlotte, NC M. Hawkins June 13, 2007 Despite controversy, Van Von VanYurtle's CineCorpseTacular, an exhibit of corpses reenacting favorite scenes from movies, continues to play before sold out museums. "The ongoing success of my presentation is a testament of the public's interest in both the cinematic and scientific arts," said VanYurtle. "I couldn't be more happy with the response." The exhibit, which is currently being displayed at Charlotte's Discovery Place, contains plastinated cadavers reenacting the greatest scenes from some of Hollywood's finest, including White Men Can't Jump, Encino Man, Debbie Does Dallas, and Weekend at Bernies II. "One of the most challenging films to recreate was Rob Zombie's House of 1,000 Corpses," said VanYurtle. "For the longest time we thought we wouldn't be able to get together enough funds to afford it. But then a prison camp in China cut us a great deal on a bulk quatity of undocumented corpses, and the project was saved."
