But overall, I enjoyed it. Challenging my brain to figure out what the hell I'm seeing is somewhat amusing as well. First up, Street of Crocodiles. The first and only thing I thought of right away was the screws coming up. This obvious was relating to someone coming apart, or losing control. Screws hold together reality, and their ejection and then unusual behavior represents either a contortion of sanity or losing of control.
