Was ‘Faces of Death’ Real? It’s Complicated
Apr 2, 2023
Where do you go when you've exhausted your horror collection? When you feel like you've seen everything and another viewing of Saw just won't do? The answer, of course, is mondo horror favorite Faces of Death. Both the 1978 original and a slew of follow-up films, under the same infamous name, have captured the morbid fascination of generations — more for their shock value than outright quality. Featuring a pathologist named Francis B. Gröss (Michael Carr) as he takes the audience through his collection of deadly footage, the real draw of Faces of Death, as many an edgy suburban kid knows, is that the series is real. (I swear, man! Don't tell my mom, though.) That's right: Through decades of changing morality, the wicked rumors of Faces of Death's veracity have persisted. But just how real is real? Is it all fake blood, or have we just witnessed a murder on tape? As it turns out, the truth lies somewhere in the middle — and if you've seen the films, you know that isn't as comforting as it sounds.
