Research has emerged today which suggests that the terrifying hallucinogenic properties experienced when undergoing a “bad trip” on popular psychedelic drug LSD are directed by master surrealist filmmaker David Cronenberg.
“New research suggests that the veteran filmmaker responsible for such brain melting classics as The Fly, Scanners and Videodrome is also the mastermind behind any bad acid trip that anyone has ever experienced,” claimed lead researcher and Cronenberg fan Dr. Darryl Revok. “The body shock director, famous for featuring scenes involving extreme violence, has been directing bad acid trips ever since the seventies.”
Some of the typical experiences that occur during a bad trip that are believed to be the work of Cronenberg include “thinking you can fly, peeling your own skin, having worms inside your body and the fear that your head is going to explode in a bloody pulpy mess”.
“Remember that one trip where you thought there was a Doppelganger following you around the house and you cried in your girlfriend’s arms for hours until you calmed down and the trip subsided?” asked Dr. Revok. “That was classic Cronenberg.”
So far Mr. Cronenberg, seen her grinning while he fucks with your mind, has not responded to the revelations but it is believed that when he does it’ll be through a prerecorded eerie vignette featuring physical and psychological terror that will send chills down your spine and stay with you for days and weeks.
“We don’t know how much of a hand Mr. Cronenberg has in good acid trips,” concluded Dr. Revok. “So far our research suggests that he has very little involvement in those leading us to suspect that they’re the work of Steven Spielberg while an ecstasy come down is widely suspected to come from the misanthropic dystopian mind of Stanley Kubrick.”
