I don't even have words to express how dumb that premise sounds.

[(Anonymous)]

seems pretty average for a pulp horror show

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever watched any of those cheesy 80s horror-anthology shows? That's pretty clever by their usual standards. :/

[kamino_neko]

Human soap is a long standing rumour, and probably has been made.

[visp]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it could burn your skin off.

[kamino_neko]

Not due to being made with human fat, no.

But soap is made with lye, which is caustic. The episode maybe exaggerates the effects (I'm not that familiar with lye's effects), but it can cause severe injuries in high concentration, and the character who was making the soap was neither a chemist nor a soap maker, so the idea that she would have messed up the proportions is far from far fetched.

(Chemical burns are nasty, nasty injuries, even when they're relatively minor.)

[(Anonymous)]

Google Leonarda Cianciulli. She made old spinster into soap and flour for cupcakes.

[kamino_neko]

flour for cupcakes

Not quite. She made blood meal, and mixed it into cakes, made with the standard amounts of flour. Nothing in the human body would be a good substitute for flour.

I never really wanted to learn all the details, I just reported what our religion teacher in middle school told us. We had very exciting religion classes. We even watched Deep Red once. We were twelve.
In hindsight, I don't think our religion teacher was a very responsible man.

[(Anonymous)]

Do you mean the human soap part, or the funky ph part? Because human soap is a fairly standard horror/crime story idea, and I think is actually possible. The ph part I'm not so sure, though. I'm guessing it's riffing on lye soaps?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

It was dumb. Even assuming you could make soap that would burn your skin, I never got why she didn't stop using it as soon as it starting hurting. But these shows aren't exactly known for their logic or intelligence.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

You can get caustic soap fairly easily, since they're made with alkaline/lye. I'm not sure how you'd get it caustic enough to kill (though, possibly through chemical shock), and yeah, why didn't she stop using it once it started hurting? Chemical burns aren't exactly stealthy things.

[darkmanifest]

Whoops, wrong comment, sorry.
