When you envision Las Vegas, you think of Cirque du Soleil, Penn & Teller, erotic showgirls, Don Rickles and some kind of vague recollection of Rat Pack-era drunken romanticism.
Now you can add Eli Roth to that list of vaunted Vegas staples as The Guardian reports the horrormeister plans to gouge tourists of their cash and possibly more with an attraction called "Goretorium."
Having already adapted his popular "Hostel" torture porn series into a serious meatgrinder of a horror maze on the Universal Studios lot called "Hostel: Hunting Season," writer/director/occasional "Inglourious Basterd" Roth plans for Goretorium to be a multi-storey carnival spook house writ large and, likely, oozing with blood and other bodily discharges.

If you think that making nipple rings out of human teeth sounds like a scene from the cutting room floor of "Hostel," you might just be right.
American torture porn pioneer Eli Roth is getting back in the human parts trade, but this time, his passion is personal.
Put on your thinking caps, because the director, better known to people who aren't in the habit of watching movies that require a follow-up with a psychiatrist as "The Bear Jew" from "Inglourious Basterds," is giving away his wisdom teeth to the fan who can come up with the most disturbed plan for them.

Eli Roth Turning Fake 'Clown' Into A Real One
Jon Watts
Beware... The Clown!
Attention, aspiring filmmakers: Apparently, making a fake trailer might just be the perfect calling card if you say the movie is directed by Eli Roth.
Filmmaker Joe Watts made a completely unauthorized (and completely fake) trailer for an Eli Roth movie called "Clown," which chronicles the madcap murderous rage of... well, a clown.
