Grand Guignol
Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol – known as the Grand Guignol – was a theatre in the Pigalle area of Paris . From its opening in 1897 until its closing in 1962, it specialized 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.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Grand Guignol
