"Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol ("The Theatre of the Great Puppet")— known as the Grand Guignol– was a theatre in the Pigalle district of Paris (7, cité Chaptal). From its opening in 1897 until its closing in 1962, it specialised in naturalistic horror shows. Its name is often used as a general term for graphic, amoral horror entertainment, a genre popular from Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre... to today's splatter films." -Wikipedia
