Goblin Town - more chill, less gore

wiseheartThe elusive idea for my "Dwobbit" story finally resurfaced today. It isn't a new one, actually, I just keep forgetting it.
My most macabre experience ever in the see-sighting area was the the Sedlec Ossuary in Kutná Hora (Czech Republic). I don't care about the fact that it is the most visited attraction of the country - I find it disrespectful. In fact, I almost got bodily sick after a few moments in there and had to get out as soon as I could.
Now, I was thinking about a version of Goblin Town along those lines. I find the film version thoroughly disgusting and as always offensive against people who suffer from skin diseases and stuff. And I didin't find the Great Goblin scary at all. I could imagine a version of him, though, that has its throne room decorated with the bones in the same manner as the Sedlec Ossuary. Tolkien didn't describe the Goblins as idiots with skin cancer. He said that they were skilled with making things (granted, mostly torture devices, but still). They did have their own twisted culture, including songs. So, I think an ossuary-style throne room would fit the more adult version of them. What do you think?
