Oh how I vividly remember viewing the "Faces
of Death" video when it first appeared in the video stores
in the early 1980's - it freaked me out! I had NEVER seen anything
like it - all kinds of graphic real death footage for me to gleefully
view at home from the safety of my own cigarette burned and beer
stained sofa- it just doesn't get much better than that! Ha! This
video showed it all- suicides, murders, human sacrifice, autopsies,
plane wrecks, and the infamous "monkey" scene where tourists
smash in a live monkeys skull in then consume its still warm brain
(sounds tasty don't it!). Now there had been a slew of "Mondo"
movies before "Faces" that mostly consisted of news footage
