Today in gross news you didn't need to know: Director Tom Six has tweeted about the next chapter in his torture porn series, "The Human Centipede." (The movies follow two sick/twisted/mentally unstable men who like stitching people together.)

So, after sewing three individuals in the first film, then 12 in "The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence," how does Six plan on topping himself this time around? By making a vomit-inducing 500-person chain, of course!

"#humancentipede3 will have a 500+ person pede. XXXXL American style!" the director tweeted from his @tom_six Twitter account.

It's worth nothing, the account isn't verified, so it's possible that this isn't Six and this whole 500-person thing is a hoax. (Then again, the man hasn't exactly shied away from controversy, so who knows.)

Last October, Six told indieWIRE that "the thing is that Part Two started with the end of Part One, Part Three will start with the ending of Part Two, and I did that because in the end, all of the films can literally be connected, like a centipede."

"The Human Centipede III" will unite Dieter Laser and Laurence R. Harvey (the stars from the first two films). It's scheduled for a 2013 release date.
