Skinned

I tossed and turned in my bed, struggling to fall asleep. It was one of those weird times where I was asleep but felt like I was awake at the same time. It felt like was in this state for hours. Until suddenly, I found myself in a dark room. I tried looking around, but couldn't see anything. It was that dark. After a few moments a faint blue light lit some the room. I saw people... dangling from chains from the ceiling. They were all screaming and crying, begging to be set free. The worst part was there was no skin on their bodies. They were all drenched in blood and their flesh and muscles were exposed. The room was very bizarre-looking as well. The walls didn't look right, neither did the floor. I can't really describe it, but it was disgusting.
Things got worse when gallons of blood began pouring out from large holes in the wall and started filling up the room. I was in total shock and panicked hard. I searched around the room, but there was no entrance or exit anyway. It's like I was trapped in a cube. The bodies screamed even more when they became engulfed in blood. That was the last thing I saw before the river of blood filled up to the ceiling, taking my breath away. I launched out of bed in a cold sweat. That was by far the most horrifying dream I have ever had. I didn't even know my brain was capable of producing morbid thoughts like that. The dream world sure is a strange and dark place. I looked at the window from the bed and saw some soft blue light pour in. It was just about to turn morning, so I figured to get up out of bed. There was no way I could go back to sleep after such a horrifying nightmare anyway.
I went downstairs into the kitchen and made myself some orange juice. I then turned on the radio and took a seat at the table in the kitchen. I've just moved into this house about a week ago, so I still have bunch of junk in the living room. I'm gonna start moving more things later since it's my day off. I don't want anyone to see the valuable stuff I have just out and about since there's been a recent series of reports of break-ins in the area. I would be crushed if they were stolen, because a lot of those valuables belonged to my late wife. She passed away a couple months ago and I haven't been handling it well. Which is why there's so much stuff in the living room, I've just been too depressed to move any of it.
It's also why I moved out of our old house. It was a nice big house, but I just couldn't bare it anymore. Everywhere I went, I would be constantly reminded of memories of my wife. And when that happens, I burst out into tears. I'll always remember her and our memories together. But I had to move on from that place. I needed a fresh start, and that's exactly what this old house is for me. It's somewhat large, has a Gothic look to it. Four bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, a living room, an attic, and a basement. It's very old school, and feels old as well. Just like me. I'm a 50 year old doctor with no hope for the future. Without my wife, I am nothing. I'll continue to slug around this misery known as life for a short while before I inevitably kick the bucket. But for now, I mourn.

A man moves into a new house. Behind an old bookshelf he discovers a hidden room. Inside the room is a human puzzle. He picks up chunks of skin and flesh and completes the puzzle. When he does, a new layer beneath the house if revealed. He walks down the steps and discovers a house beneath his house that's identical to his. Only this one appears to be made entirely of human skin. Some parts of the walls of chunks of human flesh and muscles exposed, veins running along the walls too along with a light-red tint. The house also bobs up and down like it's breathing. The furniture and food are also made of human skin and flesh. One fruit even has a beating heart. He also discovers a green house room with plants being watered by human tears. The plants, are no ordinary plants either, as many of them are growing human hearts and spines and brains. 
Horrified, the man accidentally bumps into The Skinner. His body is wrapped around with layers of cut-off human skin and he has an arsenal of sharp hooks and blades in his workshop. There's also huge tanks with gallons upon gallons of blood. In the basement lies the heart and lungs. The house doesn't use wooden beams to support it, it uses bones. The Skinner is a supernatural serial killer that kills people and uses their skin to build his house, among other things. His book of dark magic has pages made of his own skin and inked in his own blood. The Skinner wants to live in a living breathing world (literally) where everything is organic, including objects that are living. He was born from a human plant, which was created by a mad genius many years ago. 
Somehow, he was able to mix human compounds into plant seeds, and thus The Skinner was born, sprouting from a flower. But he had to be watered with human tears and blood to survive. This process continued for many years, until The Skinner became an adult and killed his creator in this very house. He decided to dig underground and build a replica entirely made of human, and even morphed his creator's body into the walls. To the shock and horror of the man, he discovers a room full of hundreds of human plants growing at a steady pace. The Skinner is hoping to raise an army of people born from human plants and essentially become a god to them. The house was made the way it was due to The Skinner wanting to prove he is the superior. How will the man stop this?
*"The Skinner, aka, the corpse harvester." "If you don't obey me, you will suffer a fate worse than Hell. So do as I say."
*The Skinner was born from a human plant made by his creator. When he was nursed into a full adult, he killed his creator, and suggests this a parallel of when Satan turned on God. The Skinner claims he's the true god and God himself is just as god. He made the skin house "out of his image" and so his human plant offspring will worship him.
*There's a link between heaven and hell in the town. The Skinner opened a portal to hell and the demons gave him the recipe to create human life without sex to the creator. They gave him the seeds to plant human life and be able to command them like God.
*When the man solves the human puzzle, the stairwell to the skin house opens. While he's down there, the three neighborhood burglars break in and discover the hidden room. They go down the stairwell, thinking they'll fine some valuable treasures. While the man is in awe looking at the skin-covered living room and kitchen fruit, he hears footsteps down the stairwell. He hides behind some organic furniture to stay out of view from them. One of the burglars says "What the hell is this shit?" They are stunned and continue traversing through the skin-made home. The man is freaked out while hiding behind the skin couch because he can feel it breathing. He blows his cover somehow and the burglars try ganging up on him. The man panics and runs through a long skin covered hallway. He hides in a dark room and the burglars lose him. The burglars try looking around for the man when suddenly they are attacked by hooks from the ceiling. The are then dragged across the hallway from the ceiling. The man follows the blood trail and finds they are put into some torture chamber. All three men are naked and have dozens of circular hooks hooked into each sides of their bodies. The hooks pull very fast, removing the skin on all the mens' body as they scream in horrible pain. Their blood is sucked up by the skin covered floor.
*Shortly after the man meets The Skinner, he says he knows about his dead wife and claims he can revive her. The man doesn't believe him. But the Skinner says he'll show an example of a human resurrection. The man refuses at first but the Skinner threatens him.
*The Skinner brings back the man's wife after the man digs up her corpse from the graveyard and brings it back to the Skinner. The Skinner puts a new heart inside her and does a ritual to bring her soul from Hell. Her soul comes back and she is alive again after regenerating. She says she doesn't have photographic memories of what she experienced in Hell, but she could remember the feeling of eternal torture.
*The Skinner reveals his plans of encasing his body in a bulletproof silver husk, that way he is unable to be easily defeated and become more God like. He already doesn't feel pain because he was able to perform self-surgery on himself where he was able to turn off the nerves that tell the body to experience pain.
*After The Skinner revives the man's wife, the man and his wife try to leave. The Skinner shows an organic TV he made operated by nerves and a brain. And on the TV shows live security footage, and the footage is from dismembered eyeballs in the corners of the ceilings.
