I'm trying to write a good story, but I can't get the gore down.

Right now, it sounds like this: He cuts open his stomach, rips his guts out, and skips rope with them, splattering blood all over the walls.

Needs to be better, though.

Something that can almost make you throw up a little.

Okay well
"Guts" is kind of vague and overused. Which ones? And how does one go about skipping rope with them anyway? Are they long and stringy guts? Does he twist them together in knots like braiding grass? But aren't they too slimy and, well, thick?

*HURL*

Twas my intent.

Re: How to describe good gore?

Something describing how the character feels while ripping our peoples guts.

Lavishing the moment, Jimmy tore through his victims flesh. The meat is a delicacy. He savored every bit-- except for the kidneys. Those he carefully extracted, for they were gold.

Re: How to describe good gore?

He carved a thin line down his victims stomach, staring at their eyes intently as they watched him in horror. Blood coated his hands and knife effectively. In his mind it was paint with which to create a masterpiece of the world. His victims pupils went small, and he watched them die. "Now," he thought, carefully fingering a lung "I have only hours before these jewels start to rot"

ect.

Re: How to describe good gore?

Staring intently into my victim's eyes, I plunged the knife into his chest, drawing breath as blood begin to pour from the wound. Blood dripping obscenely from my fingertips, I decided that I as mentally unstable enough to follow through with the actions that were to follow. Gritting my teeth, I jammed my hands into the large gash, manoevring my hand around the internal organs within the man's body. I could feel his heart pulsating, the throbbing slowing down... in a sudden moment of insanity, I took hold of one snaking intestine; and pulled until I heart a sickening snap. The spasm of the victim's body as his heart gave out. The gasp that came from my own mouth as I removed the long, blood-drenched intestine. Laughing maniacally, I fumbled around in the bloody mess; taking one end in each hand and attempting to skip... using the slippery intestine as a skipping rope. As I jumped, the snaking organ passed beneath my feet, blood and other stray tendons flying off it and spraying the floor with crimson puddles...


Okay, that's the best I've got. I can see this getting probably removed pretty fast, so sorry mods D': My argument is that the topic title is a warning and that this is on topic ^^

He grabbed hold of his daggar, got into position, and.. Nah! I can't be bothered.

Noisy :P

This is awesome, but

I'm writing a script for a movie. Needs to be very real. Or just a very descriptive story.

Alright then, scripts are descriptive in a blatant and observant way. Like third person without knowing the feelings. So that sort of thing doesn't have to be described too much

The scene moves to a rusty and blood-stained laboratory with several sharp tools lying around the body in the center shot. The only light in this laboratory hangs from the ceiling just above the body, with beams that reach far enough gleaming off the pointy objects. This light looks quite old and as though it may snap any minute. It flickers occasionally. The living personnel of the scene is sitting facing this body as he picks up one of these tools. His jagged knife then punctures the body precisely. He appears to know where he's impaling quite well, using his right hand to steady the corpse as his left glides carefully, occasionally moving through rough areas that require a steadier right, pressing intensely, and a repeated jabbing motion with the left, ripping through obstacles he knows all too well. After several deep and gory incisions near the intestinal and pancreatic areas he pulls out his knife, dripping with blood, and inserts his hands to pull out a long line of intestine

Try this:

Without regret, his ambition took over his actions. He grasped the rusty, blood-stained knife and jabbed it into the offender's side. His screams were whispers in the darkness of the night. He Proceeded without hesitation. His bare hand pounded his stomach tissues a million times a second. He could only scream as his vital organs and guts were piercingly ripped straight from his stomach and ribcage. Blood poured out in pints, and before long, gallons. The enemy's laugh was like that of a six year old girl's. He smiled and skipped rope  big_smile

Re: How to describe good gore?

The victim screamed, a horrifying, blood-curdling scream, looking at the knife buried in his chest.  It was only a few moments before the victim spasmed and died, the look of insane horror still stamped on his features.  The murderer laughed.  He laughed like the evil maniacs in all the movies.  Growing up, he'd always been told he'd amount to something.  They were right.
The assassin grabbed the knife handle with both hands and pulled it forcefully across the dead man's chest and stomach.  Licking the spattering blood from his lips, he realized that if he was found out, he would be imprisoned.  Imprisoned for killing the man who'd killed his precious lab rat.  Ah well, back to work.
He tore away the skin from the stomach, until he could see the organs.  They were slimy, but that was a okay.  The murderer sliced away the small intestine, stretching it out a bit.  Perfect.  Laughing and singing like a little girl with a new toy, he skipped rope, the slimy organ sometimes brushing his feet.  Hehe, he thought, this is the life.
