Faces of Death (1978): The Film That Shouldn’t Exist
In 1978, a film emerged from the shadows that would change cinema, and censorship, forever.
Faces of Death claimed to show real death on screen, blurring the line between documentary and horror. Some of it was fake… some of it wasn’t.
Join Sensory Stowers as she unpacks one of the most infamous films ever made: the myths, the morality, and the psychology behind our fascination with death. From the Video Nasty era to the age of viral shock culture, this episode explores how Faces of Death predicted our obsession with real violence, and why it still disturbs us today.
It’s not just about death… it’s about what we see when we finally dare to look.
