autopsy photo on the cover of Grand Guignol got me to thinking. I wonder if the covers of "Grand Guignol", "Leng Tch'e", and PainKiller's "Guts of a Virgin" aren't religious references. The "Leng Tch'e" booklet depicting the public dismemberment of Fou-Tchou-Li can only bring to mind the crucifixion of Christ, especially given the focus on the ecstatic look on his face.
Tell you what, go read George Bataille's Tears of Eros and Eroticism and get back to us. I think that should answer most of your questions (though opening many others).
