Theme: Snuff Movies

Snuff Movies are films that supposedly depict the murder of other people. There is the persistent belief in the existence of an underground where such films are produced and distributed. This is in contrast to real world law enforcement agencies who have failed to produce a single example of a non-faked snuff movie.

Fictional depictions of Snuff Movies recur on screens with portrayals of criminal undergrounds where the torture and murder of people is regularly filmed and sold on black markets. Horror films depict people being abducted as participants or of Psychos and Serial Killers who like to make such films.

In more recent years, the idea of the snuff internet site has taken off where the murder of people is screened or live-streamed.
