Corpse Oil: A Kosmetics Killer Spinoff Story_(0)

Factual Note: In certain Asian countries, it is believed that ‘corpse oil’ or liquid collected by burning the chin of a corpse with a small flame, possesses great power which can be used in black magic rituals. .

The best corpse oil should be obtained from a corpse which fulfils the following criteria:

1. Female

2. Young (below 30 years old) and beautiful

3. Pregnant for the first time

4. At least 7 months pregnant

5.The unborn fetus must still be in the dead woman’s womb

6. Died from unnatural causes, preferably murdered

The corpse must be dug up and brought to a (un)holy man for the ritual to be performed within 9 days of her death. It must be done at a particular time at night and the person performing the ritual must have post-mortem sexual intercourse with the corpse to demonstrate his dominance over the spirit of the dead woman.

The following story is inspired by this practice.


A syndicate dealing in the oil has received an order for a top quality bottle of corpse oil urgently needed by a high paying client. He wanted top grade corpse oil and the syndicate was getting worried that such a corpse would be extremely difficult to find. Then fate, in the for of the Kosmetics Killer, took a hand. The last victim, the pregnant woman who was smothered to death, met every criterion for top grade corpse oil. The syndicate excitedly sent its agents to the funeral of the victim to find out where she was going to be buried.
