Ahhh… sweet innocence. Back when I was probably nine or ten years old me and a bunch of my pals hi-jacked a VHS copy of Faces of Death from one of my friend’s older brothers. Boy, was that a sleepover to remember. Horrified young men slowly being turned into rabid horror fans. Yes, those were the days. The days when we thought Faces of Death was a documentary. The slow bite of reality shouldn’t suggest that you still can’t enjoy this horror classic though. In fact, Gorgon Video is making it much easier for you to do so because tomorrow Gorgon is releasing the original shockumentary back onto DVD and Blu-Ray in a beautiful hi-def transfer...
The DVDs special features boast a feature-length documentary with director Conan Le Cilaire, who has never publicly discussed Faces of Death, “Choice Cuts with editor Glenn Gurner” featurette, “The Death Makers with Special Make-Up FX Creators Allan A. Apone and Douglas J. White” featurette, and Faces of Death trailers, outtakes, and deleted scenes. Check out the brand new website at www.FacesofDeath.com now! Website features include a “share your story” section where you can share your first experiences with the most notorious shockumentary of our time, in addition to original publicity archives, bonus footage, and so much more. So head to your local retailer tomorrow, pick up Faces of Death, and put yourself back in the shoes of that queasy little boy you once were in that basement with a look-out at the top of the stairs on parent patrol (wow, that was wayyyy too real).
