From Hell (Movie Fanfiction!)

A Story by Abishai100

New York detective Freddy pursues an elusive Manhattan serial-killer known as JP in a cat-and-mouse game involving prostitution...and dreariness.

Here's a modernized movie fanfiction adaptation, inspired by the shocking and crafty Hughes Brothers' From Hell
, a searing portrait of why Jack-the-Ripper was arguably the darkest (and tallest!) serial-killer of all time. Enjoy (and thanks for reading my friends!),

Manhattan (New York) had become the epicenter of American traffic and cosmopolitan communications and hence fashion! People living in Manhattan were messengers of a traffic pedestrian worldly aesthetic, and the clothing they wore and the language they spoke all reflected an Earthly intelligence. However, all was not style in Manhattan.

There was a dark-side to Manhattan (New York). The elusive serial-killer known as Jack-the-Ripper (JP) was stalking the streets at night, targeting prostitutes! This nefarious murderer strangled prostitutes in alleys before mutilating their dead bodies post-mortem! It was soon evident there were clear dark skies above Manhattan (New York).

One prostitute at the time, Mary Kelly, was scared of dying. Her other prostitute-girlfriend Ann Crook, was dating a socialite-yuppie named Todd Howard but was mysteriously kidnapped and there were street rumors Ann was taken to an underground yuppie-cult killing cult called the Skulls where she was shaved and shot! It was now the rumor that prostitutes were endangered by a new era Manhattan dark imagination. This is what the serial-killer JP (Jack-the-Ripper) sought to exploit and magnify, so he continued to stalk more and more prostitutes. Mary Kelly was sure she was next on JP's hitlist!

Fortunately, an ambitious though somewhat alcoholic Manhattan detective named Freddy was assigned to this important case of disappearing/mutilated prostitutes. Freddy was sure that JP (Jack-the-Ripper) was unconnected to the yuppie-cult links to prostitute kidnappings and was simply magnifying this modern Manhattan dark-streets trend of targeting helpless prostitutes. If the yuppie-cult activity was normal crime, then the JP (Jack-the-Ripper) murders/mutilations were the underground Helter-Skelter rendition of these 'worldly crimes' in Manhattan! Detective Freddy decided to follow prostitute Mary Kelly to see if he uncovered evidential signs.

Well, Freddy got lucky! One night, while following around prostitute Mary Kelly, Freddy noticed a strange man in a sack-head mask driving a truck following Mary Kelly walking down the street. Freddy was now absolutely sure this 'sack-head' man was JP (Jack-the-Ripper). He snapped a photo of the truck-driving man with his handy-dandy iPhone and distributed it to cops all over Manhattan.

FREDDY: I believe Jack-the-Ripper stalks prostitutes and surgically mutilates them post-mortem to make Manhattan eerie.

Freddy wonders if JP (Jack-the-Ripper) might be one of the members of the underground yuppie-cult also responsible and implicated in prostitute killings in the city. Freddy guesses JP is a yuppie member who wants to go his own way with his special brand of post-mortem mutilations! This theory makes Freddy unpopular with police, but he insists it has merit and soc fosters it while more murders arise in Manhattan...murders and mutilations under the dark-skies!

PROSTITUTE: Manhattan is a bedrock of great American young traffic, and I don't want JP to disrupt our smooth diaries!

Jack-the-Ripper (JP) started responding to all these street rumors and Freddy-detective theories by using a new nifty weapon for his prostitute-murder --- a deadly black silencer-handgun. This silencer became JP's new signature weapon, which he used before he did his usual surgical morbid mutilations of the bodies post-mortem. Freddy wondered if JP was perhaps some kind of laid off mortuary worker or perhaps even a NYU med-school dropout.

Freddy met with an artist who would make some old New York painting renditions of these JP serial-killings. The paintings were quite graphic and represented a Manhattan newfound timeless paranoia of prostitution-violence! Freddy stuck copies of these paintings all over Manhattan, to incite JP (Jack-the-Ripper) into making some sort of public admission. This art infuriated Jack-the-Ripper but became the favorite of frightened urban prostitutes, especially the idealist Mary Kelly.

JP (Jack-the-Ripper) sent The Post a strange note reading, "I endorse the video-game Crime Scene Manhattan" for its evil.

This became a Manhattan war of wits and words, and if our valiant if troubled New York detective Freddy was to rescue the worried prostitute Mary Kelly, he'd have to find ingenious ways to reveal why and how JP (Jack-the-Ripper) was simply a modern-day messenger of raw psychiatry. The war was about to begin. May God bless Manhattan!
