Snuff Films Real or Fake?
 

I think they they do there are a lot of sick people out there some people just go to farr I am writing a novel about the topic hopefully it will be a killer novel

For the most part, they are a myth. With the exception of executions, soldiers getting killed, etc.there is actually no record of real snuff films (and, technically, those exceptions, as well as animal deaths are not really snuff films anyway). It is believed that the origin of the myth started with what someone said about the Manson murders, in an interview or something, of course, there were none by them found. The idea reached its height in the 1970s with a film called Snuff. The film was made (under a different title) and was quite terrible (And was performing equally terribly). Consequently, the filmmakers decided to add a scene that they claimed was a real death scene, in order to make the film more successful. The scene obviously was not a real death, but the fact that they claimed that made people want to see it. It then became a big hit. So, in short, I do not believe snuff films truly exist.

Ok I'll Bite.

It depends on the definition - what the FBI call a SNUFF movie is a murder committed on film for the sole of distribution for purpose of financial profit.

So under that definition, there has never been a Snuff Movie discovered by any Law Enforcement Agency EVER....now keep in mind EVER is a long time. Considering how much sick child porn that has been found, no one LEO has found a snuff film or no one arrested for child porn has ever tryed to pleas bargain knowledge of one.

There are a few semantic arguments but at the end of the day there is zero proof of one existing.
