* The ''DoctorWho'' episode "Love & Monsters" has a variant in this, in that the main character's girlfriend is attacked by a monster which leaves her as a just a concrete head (but still alive) - yet it's stated (see the page quote) that they still have a "love life". Interpret it however you will.

You track down your mother, you find that the killer was abducting women in an attempt to stitch together his dead wife, and the last piece was your mother's head.]]

* In ''{{Dexter}}'', the Ice Truck Killer [[spoiler: aka Rudy]] [[spoiler: aka Brian Mozer, Dexter's brother]] is referred to as having chosen not to kill a hooker when he realised she was an amputee. She says that he "started worshipping it (her fake hand)" and did "some freaky stuff with it (as well as her stump)". Given his obsession with dismemberment, it is implied that he may have used the parts of his victims for this as well.
