Content

edit

Narrated by "Prof. Bizarro Blackstone", the film is actually footage from various horror films about cannibalism, and newsreel footage of Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, and Adolf Hitler. One sequence involves the Kikuyu tribes people of Kenya, (the film incorrectly says that they are from Papua New Guinea), as well as various stock car crashes, and the John F. Kennedy assassination.

Credits

edit

The direction is credited to "Countess Victoria Bloodhart" and Steve White, the writing to "S. Sebastian Shock", the direction and production to "Damian B. Gravenhorse PhD.", with one segment credited to producer "Mink De Ronda". It was re-edited and re-released as Beyond Reality, which is credited to Steve White. There are no other technical credits given to the film.

Color process

edit

With the exception of a few brief scenes, the entire video is in black and white.

Sequel

edit

Footage from this video was later edited into Banned from Facez, parts 3 and 4. A sequel was also released straight to video: Dying: Last Seconds of Life, Part II, also in 1988.
