| Trivia | After many years of intense investigation, there is still no actual proof that real snuff films even exist or, indeed, have ever existed. With this in mind, opportunistic co-producer Allan Shackleton saw the chance to make a quick buck. He took an Argentinian low budget biker film titled The Slaughter (1971), changed its title to "Snuff", removed all of its credits and added a 10-minute epilogue to it that showed the supposed director of "The Slaughter" finish making the film and suddenly attack one of its female cast members, then kill and disembowel her, all the while being surreptitiously filmed by a cameraman. This footage was then passed off as real, even though the atrocious acting and sub-par special effects clearly showed that it was phony. Nevertheless, ever the entrepreneur, Shackleton arranged a public showing of the film in Times Square, NY, told the New York Police Department what was about to be shown there and set up a small group of phony "protesters". The publicity stunt worked; "Snuff" made over $300,000 in three weeks. See more » |
