Bruce Bickford: Well, let's start over.
FZ: OK.
Voice of
BRUCE BICKFORD
Bruce Bickford: Neither the torture chamber nor the disco knows about the existence of each other. But there is psychic contact between the two; the evil doings on the disco floor have their counterpart in the dungeon below. The more you get engrossed in modern-day . . . modern-day notions about talismans or any kind of psychic art, and manipulation of psychic objects, pretty soon you realize that anything goes. Some guy could pick up a handful of dog shit, and say, "look, behold this, and then the force field around it will, will flow into you."
