Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Allan Shackleton's fake protests and 'employee disappearance' stunts created the snuff film myth that persists in true crime culture today.
The film was originally titled 'Slaughter' and sat unreleased for years before Shackleton bought it, filmed a new ending, and invented the 'snuff' concept entirely.
