I remember trading for the whole series back in grade 10.
The best part was learning that they weren't actually snuff films I watched when I was a teenager, they were a bunch of fakey mcfakersons, interspersed with a little gory news reel footage. Nothing ever in that series could actually be categorized as snuff, as any of the killing of humans depicted, was as real as A Friday the 13th film.

Plus do you honestly think Amazon could sell actual Snuff films?:

However, electric chair dude should have got an Oscar for his death scene.

Great quote from the article:

Quote:
You mean, the famous electric chair scene was fake? But the guy was foaming at the mouth and everything!

"We built a cell in a friend's loft, and we lined the guy's mouth with toothpaste," says Schwartz, laughing. "My research material for that: I happened to pick up a Hustler magazine and there was this great article about electrocution that really detailed how a person is executed. . . . And that's what I used as my basis."
Faces of Death can be viewed in its entirety, uncensored on youtube now.
