DO SNUFF MOVIES EXIST?

DO SNUFF MOVIES EXIST?

A snuff film is a motion picture genre that depicts the actual murder of a person or people, without the aid of special effects, for the express purpose of distribution and entertainment or financial exploitation. The existence of for-profit snuff films is generally considered an urban legend. Some filmed records of executions and murders exist but have not been made or released for commercial purposes. (THIS IS NOT TRUE, ANYMORE, FACES OF DEATH IS A COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION, Master Klaas, SiTU (Wikipedia, 2012)

Boris Arkadin (Jeroen Crabbe) is a horror film maker. His pregnant wife was brutally murdered by a Manson-like gang of hippy psychopaths during the 1960s. He becomes a virtual recluse - until years later he directs his own snuff inspired movies. He invites actors to take part in an audition at his country manor house - blurring the lines of what is real and what is fiction. (Snuff Movie, 2005)

During my travels in Asia, I spend the last days or weeks on the island of Bali. It was there I met a Canadian girl. We talked a lot and being a lot older, she respected me and was interested in my expeditions into this part of the world.

We talked about the existence of snuff-movies, being an example of the extreme degradation and exploitation of women. At that time I didn't dare to tell her the truth. Those tapes exist. At the end of this cosmic cycle entities degenerate and start doing the most ugly things. Demons feed on human emotion and fear. In wartime children and woman are trapped and killed. Tortured in the most extreme way. Mass executions draw a lot of attention from above and killings are seen life on the internet. Horrible things to see and a lot of screaming and blood, when fundamentalist saw off the head of an infidel. What a horrible way to go. Alien abductions are just a cover-up of all kind of weird experiments. In the movie “Man in Black” Will Smith has a tool, by which he can wipe out the memory of witnesses. During an “abduction” something like that happens. Memories are covered by worse ones; memories of pain, loud noise and sexual harassment. But those layers fade in time and especially in a time like this, when everything will be revealed. I hope you can stand this apocalypse. Everybody who has sold his soul to Satan, and making a snuff-movie is, should be careful in the future. Your might have the chance to act in a real one. Satan, then may be an illusion; there are enough, possesed humans, who will.

KLM, our Royal Dutch Airline (sold to Air France) has started a new promotion campaign. You may choose the person sitting next to. Ruud Gullit is participating, a well-known and handsome football- player and a Catwalk Queen, whose name I forgot. Jeroen Krabbe is also a possibility. He can tell you all about snuff-movies. He had the leading part in one of the most recent ones and Jeroen's performance was excellent (2005). Viewer discretion advised and don't try this anywhere.

WIST U DIT?

In de vorige eeuw werd in Kenia het, gedeeltelijke, skelet gevonden van een “aapachtig” vrouwlijk wezen, van het vrouwelijke geslacht, dat meer dan drie miljoen jaar oud leek te zijn. Latere tests bevestigden dat vermoeden (3,6 millioen jaar)

De geschiedenis van mens werd door deze vondst met miljoenen jaren uitgebreid. Bij de naamgeving hebben de Beatles een belangrijke rol gespeeld. In verband met deze belangrijke vondst vierden de onderzoekers en veldwerkers een feestje. De muziek werd geleverd door een cassetterecorder, waarop een tape van de Beatles werd gedraaid. Hierop stond “Lucy in the Sky, with Diamonds”. Tijdens de festiviteit, onder de schitterende, tropische sterrenhemel, werd besloten onze voorloopster “Lucy” te noemen.
