Mark Hamill is admittedly squeamish when it comes to horror. Even with *The Long Walk*, his upcoming dystopian movie based on the Stephen King novel, the *Star Wars* veteran wasn't sure he wanted to do it until he was sold on the vision from director Francis Lawrence and the "arresting concept that gets your attention," he says.
Not so much with *The Human Centipede* sequel.
In an interview with ** pegged to *The Long Walk*, Hamill recalls the time he got an offer to appear in *The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence*, the 2011 follow-up to the body-horror film about a deranged German surgeon who surgically sewed three kidnapped tourists together, mouth to buttocks.

"Someone said, 'They want you to be in *The Human Centipede Part 2*.' And I said, 'What's *The Human Centipede*?'" the actor, 73, shares. "They explained the premise to me, and I went, 'Oh my God! Thank you for putting those images in my head, and I'll never forgive you for doing so.' But that was an easy one. I said, 'No, *don't* send the script.' The premise alone — I'll never see one, and I really resent the fact that some human being thought of that concept of sewing people together, mouth to anus. Goodbye, and never enter my life again."
*The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence* was a more meta follow-up, about a disturbed man, played by Laurence R. Harvey, who becomes obsessed with recreating the experiment featured in the movie *The Human Centipede*. A third movie followed in 2015.
"There's a producer of *Saw*. *He* can't go see those movies," Hamill says. "He produces them and gets all the profits, but he just can't stomach watching them. I think that's really funny, 'cause me, I saw a premise in the trailer, I go, 'Okay, thank you. Very good. Not for me.'"

Hamill will now appear in *The Long Walk*, which marks his third King movie, if you count 1992's *Sleepwalkers*, for which he only had a small cameo as a police officer. Following *The Life of Chuck*, the actor now plays the Major, a military leader in a dystopian vision of America under a totalitarian regime. Young men from across the country volunteer to participate in an annual walking event to win a grand prize by being the last person standing. Any entrant who falls behind is executed.
When Hamill first read the premise of the film, he thought, "There's no way I could even see this movie, much less be in it." He was impressed, however, by Lawrence's vision. "The real heart and soul of the picture is their experiences in these extraordinary circumstances," he says of the main characters, "their highs, their lows, their triumphs, their tragedies, the alliances, the rivalries. That's what the movie's all about."
*The Long Walk* will open in theaters Sept. 12.**
