The TARTAROO screenplay was adapted into a feature length screenplay by Freddy Robinson. The potential to franchise the film is evident given the times. The “Abattoir” poem is listed as follows:
THE ABATTOIR (Poem)
At last glance observed the depth was six feet
no final plea deserved, no acts of hatred to repeat,
despite his heart finding remorse
fate held it’s course.
As his soul had lowered to seven
he reached out for heaven,
abattoir cries between seven and eight
confirmed that it was too late.
“Illhatre cry no more,” echoed a dark soul
preparing him for that to come, as he slithered down a hole,
the journey grew rapid in the wooden box
passage bumpy due to the rocks.
The box gained speed, without twist or turn
and his skin would soon discover, that ice too burns,
from noises to voices and bypassing cries
his arrival was soon greeted with death’s widened eyes.
No awaiting greetings of peace, which he never expected
nor signs of beastiality, which he often perfected,
the chance to flee was gone the moment he landed
for he dared not move realizing he was stranded.
There he stood in the realms
awaiting the forthcoming elms,
his thoughts failed without speech or pace
horror standing before his face.
The smallest of women now stood tall
an affair he dared not recall,
yet she struck his right upper limb
with expectations from the rest of them.
The abberation grew fierce with an eye for an eye
without rhyme or reason, nor questions why,
‘twas time to atone for ill-doings
evident in the next one persuing.
The object she swung upon a time once hung
from her delicate shoulder when stealing was fun,
the impact of her swing had broken such things
that at one time or another plucked guitar strings.
The next in line drew anxiously
had once said no to he,
her evil grin with blood drew nearer
trying to comfort his new-found fear.
The impact of her blow damaged the tool of generations
forbidding any hopes of future penetrations,
revenge had brought her glory
after damaging his one and only.
Widened eyes of retribution continued without pause
as each blow grew harder reminding him of their cause,
on the cold surface he lay looking up at evil smiles
left frozen in his deeds, helpless like a child.
Should he awaken from such terror, his heart may rejoice
and make haste into the streets, with an apologetic voice,
first to find the man with drink, whom he did assault
then acknowledge other deeds, repenting for his faults.
To the woman who so delicately, carried her purse filled with needs
for her children he stold from, their gentle mouths to feed,
last but not least who fell victim to a beast
the woman he once tortured that escaped to the streets.
by the hands of a stranger who showed no danger
yet violated her purity out of lust and anger,
her body left unhealed and damaged beyond repair
now commanded respect, tender mercy and care.
Ill deeds retrace their tracks with a call for repentance
and the abattoir awaits vast souls for admittance,
thus toss to and fro for life is what it seems
when awakened by reality, a nightmare or a dream.

TARTAROO (FILM)
LOG LINE: The denizens of Hell may soon become reality following one man’s murder of a college girl.
SYNOPSIS: RICHARD HAIL’S abusive childhood during which he was forced to have sex with his mother, by his tormenting father, unleashes his pinned up rage within. While awaiting trial in a rubber room due to fits of insanity, Richard recounts the dark moments of his life to a trusted psychologist who’s faced with the daunting task of determining if Richard is insane or not. The only thing that keeps Richard “sane” enough to cooperate, is music composed by the Classical great, Beethoven, often playing from a CD player in the middle of the room. Meanwhile, in the world below which Richard calls “Tartaroo,” a place he’s been to only in his dreams, people are being tortured for their murderous crimes committed in their “previous life.” Found in the New Testament of the Bible (2 Peter 2:4), Tartaroo is translated as hell, “the name of the subterranean region, doleful and dark, regarded by the ancient Greeks as the abode of the wicked dead, where they suffer punishment for their evil deeds. Tartaroo is run with an iron fist by ILLHATRE, leader of the underground Hellish world driven by bloody vengeance for the assailants who remain in the world above. Illhatre insists that “the time has not yet come for such vengeance in the real world above,” yet MARY (Richard’s victim) insists on immediate revenge, using her new-found “demonized” abilities to return amongst the living. One way or another, Richard must pay for his crime, yet his evil deed may unleash a type of Hell unknown to mankind.
