I see the variety of things offered at BlueLips, but very few of them advertise suicides--only the one states that it was used as an international police training video, and one additional states that suicides are featured on it. That said, there are a couple that may look promising--all that can be done is to email the vendor and see.
Hi all Ive been reading the thread and like everyone else have been waiting for someone to find the footage. I googled japanese footage of faces of death. The first website that I clicked on said that the original japanese title was "Junk"
Not sure if thats any help at all but thought I should share.
Thanks!
Nah.... you gotta be forceful with them, and demand they give you your money back. Does anybody here still have a VCR? If we find it and nobody has a VCR we're all screwed. Wouldn't that be ironic? My cats destroyed my DVD player last week. Jerked it off the TV, and it hit the hardwood floor and flew apart.
So, Movie Madness, which is, like, the largest obscure movie rental store in the US, is in Portland. I just did a title search and they do not have a movie for rental titled "Bizarre Deaths." I am inclined to believe that if that video existed, they would have it. (Really. They have everything.) Are we sure that's the correct title?
I do...I do...I do!!!!! Dont ask me how to hook it up though!
I told my lawyer he's better step it up or we would both end up on an episode of "SNAPPED"
See it is out there...we just have to find it. I can't believe I've spent the entire day looking for the footage. I swear to God I've been sitting here at the computer since eleven o'clock this morning.
The 'Bizarre Deaths' movie is for sale at Bluelips for $40. Most of the real death videos that were on VHS never made the transition to DVD. That's why they are so hard to find. I don't imagine a person could just walk in to a video store today and find it. If the Chris Chubbuck footage was on a Japanese movie release, that had that scene deleted in the U.S., somebody must have made copys of it, and distributed it here in the U.S. because A LOT of people have seen it here. Sounds like illegal bootlegging to me but I dunno.
Yep. Pretty darn clear. Movie Madness obviously likes to stay on the good side of the FBI and has declined to carry that video. However... they do have a DVD titled: Junk, which is under: Japanese Horror dated 1999. It is non-rated and does not say if it is a documentary or fiction film.
Do we think this may be one that has it?
I've never heard of it but it's worth checking into. I say we check out all leads till we have nowhere to go with it.
Does what clear that up? What!!?
Edit: Never mind...I read too slow.
Hey Rhonda...at least you gave it a shot. Like I said we need to check every lead out. Good Job !!!
I am in AWE at the tenacity of my fellow Hags! I should know better!
We're on a mission here.
Has anybody here heard of 90day Jane? She has a website that she claimed was her last 90 days alive ,and the last day she would kill herself. It seems she was trying to parallel Christine Chubbuck's suicide. She didn't actually kill herself but I thought her reference to CC to be quite odd. Google 90day Jane and you can read all about it. It seems Christine Chubbuck has a legacy that will live on.
Sorry...that sounded just awful! Out of respect to C.C., none of that. Michael, little doubt in my mind that it would get a gazillion hits immediately.

And that's all I could get out of their search engine without going over to the store.
Not to mention all the foreign release tapes! Faces of death has several titles and releases alone. This could take a while..
We all need to start screening these to find out what is on them. Knock em off the list one by one!
Great finds Rhonda....we'll have to check them out.
Question for everybody here..... I must have missed this somehow but, I never knew Christine had 2 brothers. I knew about Greg but I've never heard of Timothy? What's the story on him? Anybody.......
Wow..... was he the one that was an interior decorator? How sad.
Well, I'm out for the night. Tomorrow I'll start searching again.
I'd be looking at the one that has the 200 dollar deposit required. There has to be a reason for that!
I have talked to too many people who say its out there and I remeber seeing one of these videos like I said with the Lupe Valez pic of her dead...also the albert dekkler pic .....wouldent it be great if we found it !!!!
who do I have to sleep with?
Any news yet? I've been gone all day. Time to start searching.
LOL I wanted to help..till I got a pesky little notice from the IRS this morning *sighs* Less than some people have to pay, but more than I can afford to pay at this time! Pfft!
it seems too good to be true.
A lot of people don't realize how valuable that footage could be. As we all know....us death hags are in a class all our own. I bet if the right people knew how much it was worth they would sell it in a heartbeat. It would be ironic if somebody found it because of the stir we're making over it, and tried to get a mint off it. Or if it was found and her family found out about it. We may have to switch into sneak mode guys.
I feel the same. If there were a bigger buzz someone would come up with it some where!
I agree! Keep the CC on the DL! (BTW--If I still lived in Portland, I'd go use my membership at Movie Madness and rent it for you, deposit and all, and find out for sure.) I'd take one for the team.
Just a suggestion but maybe if she does end up being on the tape that Machael555 is thinking of buying, you guys could somehow find a way to pool your money together to get it. $40.00 is pretty expensive for a VHS tape. But if she is on it then Kimba can make copies for everyone
Puh-leeze!! Like it's ever gonna get that far! Michael is obviously on the verge of jumping in the nearest car & driving to the warehouse. He'll wear those astronaut diapers that Dixie orders for him on the interweb & enter the warehouse in a blaze of glory like Jon Bon Jovi. At the sight of his chains of fury, mad eyes & huge diaper, the workers will run scared out the back. Michael will then find the guy who's been totruring him by witholding the contents of the prized tapes & bang him about the head with his fists until he tells him what he wants to know. Them Michael will do all there is left to do, hang his head in bitter disappointment.
And sadly, when it's all over, Adam will slink around the corner, shake his head wearily, & tell him he should have known better. The footage does not exist.
Hahaha Michael, if it does exist, like m&ms & Santa Caluse, I have no doubt you will be the man who finds it!
I gotta think that if that footage is really out there, it would have already made it's way onto video or you tube- or DVD ...somewhere.
I mean- folks out there know thw the value and/or the availability of such things. I know I was always able to get the banned stuff I always wanted ....somebody- a collector- is always out there, and usually willing to help another collector...
and it can't be that way only in the music or toy community!
But see I also have seen the video with Lupe Valez and also Albertt Derkkler as well and no one can find that and unless these were fakes ( I dont think so ) I have seen all this in one of these videos back in the early 90s....so my point is none of us can find these pics or footage but I know for a fact its out there someplace..Ive seen the one of Lupe and the one of Albert ....Ive seen both woth my own eyes!!...so who is to say the Christine video is not out there ? Im keeping open minded....
Guys... Mike knows more than he's telling you. We're pretty damn sure we found it. We're playing a waiting game for confirmation. Just chill !!!
Lisa Marie.... I've never seen the tape with Lupe Valez and Albert Dekker on it. But, I have seen Lupe Valez's death pics somewhere.
I'm still trying to find the uncensored pics of Nicole Brown- Simpson's neck wound.
