Paisly...

There is a series of videos that are all real... it is called "Traces of Death." Unfortunately, it has been banned and you cannot get the videos any longer.

and this is unfortunate?

If you look around on the web for info on these videos, some of the sites actually break down each flick and point out which scenes are obviously fake and why. Its pretty interesting reading.

Has anybody ever seen BANNED FROM TELEVISION ? When the lady gets hit by the train we played it in slow motion and you see body parts fly right at the camera that is filming it.

That dizzy bitch was in a hurry to her grave, was she not?

Man... that train hit her HARD.

IceNine said:

Notice the man alongside her had more sense and stopped himself before his own demise.

pejman said:

Right... the best thing for her is that she never knew that it was coming, so she was never scared at all and death must have been VERY quick. She didn't suffer.

BUT... how the fuck are you going to run in front of a fast-moving train and not even know that it is coming??? Those fucking things aren't exactly quiet.

this stuff is too depressing, and much of it was fake...

Do any of you guys remember these movies? They where kinda like the horror flicks of reality TV if there is such a thing? I remember one of the clips, they showed these bank robbers somewhere in England that got locked in the safe where all the money was, at first they where cheering and everything thinking they got away with something, then after they figured out they couldn't get out and hours later, they both of the bank robbers and the security guard suffocated because of lack of oxygen, I remember feeling real disturb watching this, it wasn't gory or anything like in the usual horror flicks, but it was scary because it was real life and you actually watched a person died, but I remember somebody telling me half the stuff on these films where fake. They had a series that went all the way up 20, and this girl was telling about this guy who tried do this magic trick by swallowing razors and he ended up swallowing one for real and choking up blood till his death, groose, and can they have all this stuff on tape if it's really real? and the guy who hosted the tapes even gave me the creeps ... anyways have any of you guys ever watched these faces of death movies, did they give you the creeps like they gave me?

I've seen most of them and a few of their spinoffs/ripoffs. Yes, probabbly about half of those scenes are faked (like the aligator attack, the monkey brains, the electric chair, etc...).

When I first started renting them, I could only watch about 15 min or so at a time. It was just too morbid and depressing. Alot of times when I was over friends houses someone would always wind up renting one of them, so I ended up seeing quite a few.

The history behind that series of movies is pretty cool too.
